Honest?

I like the original wheels better.

I'm not a fan of a lot of chrome.....but....

it's your car and if you're happy, that's all that counts.

Chrome looks cool on black Vettes. They look awsome on your Vette!:cool

 

[Robertwav1]

Chrome definitely defines the black more. Very sharp looking....it's "High Def"

I'll take Dorr #2, Monte...

The chrome set is way better... really sets off black in a way unlike anything else.

Nice job!

The chrome looks great! I was thinking of having mine done also. You may have just helped me make up my mind.

So that's what my car would look like with chrome wheels. :cool
I have been eyeballing a set of C6 motorsports for about 8 months now. But looking at your chrome wheels may have changed my mind.
The chrome looks awesome on the black 87' !!!

Just curious. How much does it cost to chrome your wheels? And do they have to do the set or can they do it in pairs?

 

[chevyaddict]

The chrome rocks!! I agree, chrome always looks good on dark color cars for sure!!!!!!!

 

[Blu ByU]

Don't hate me, but I like the original a LOT better. Still, sweet looking ride!

The set cost $699...but that is with you returning your originals for a core return...Got mine done by Corvette Central. If you want to do 2 at a time you would have to call them. The actual company who did the chroming was BJ's Chrome in Encino, California. They did a great job.

I am not into heavily chroming up my Vette. There is no chrome on my engine. I too agree...that the Chrome and Black are a nice mix...definately Hi Def, Hi tech...not too gaudy!!! And ...No I am not coming out with a Rap Album....I just had to make a decision....refinish the original wheels with the original finish, Upgrade to 17" Sawblades...(chrome or not) or get after market wheels...or GS 5 spokers....I want to keep my 87 as close to stock...so I chose to keep the stock wheels... but clean it up by chroming them out.

Looks great. Dig the way the reflection is shining up the driveway. Makes me wanna drive your car at excessive speeds.

Includes a 3 year Warranty against any kind of defects, chipping, peeling etc.
Chromes worse enemy is negligence...gotts keep'em clean and polished!!!! I invested in some top quality chrome polish from Griots Garage.
