your right the polished look isnt chrome... but for me the painted wheels on the Silver car was just too much silver... needed a higher polished look.. I didnt want to wait for a nice set of chrome ones to come out in the meantime.. worth it to me

You guys (and/or gals) are not helping at all! Now I don't know whether to stick with the highly-polished wheels or not. Guess I'll have to wait for some more responses.

My salesman is probably going crazy anyway. I've changed my order twice already. Guess that's what he gets for working for a low-volume dealer and delaying my C6.

If they look as good as the pics you took at the NCM of the silver coupe with polished wheels they will be just fine - It will be an interesting comparison!

Forum members where can I order quality chrome wheels for my C6 convertible when it comes, as I'm going to cancel my highly polished wheels.
Looked at C6 today at Rathman Chevrolet that had polished wheels. They looked great! Price was $12K above MSRP.

I believe the polished wheels are FORGED which would make them a good deal STRONGER.

I've heard that it's not smart to get your wheels chromed because if it's not done properly it can affect the balance of rims and tires.
