Default Chromed wheels C8

Ok, I’m old and don’t like black or painted wheels . Got these on eBay-chromed . As you can tell there is not much difference between the chrome on the Vette and highly polished HRE on my Pista.

The Ferrari is badazzzz, not a fan of chrome on the C8 however. But if everyone looked alike that would be kinda boring.

That beautiful Ferrari should have its own Room inside your House.

The Garage just isn't good enough.

Against my better judgement, I will share this link... but we need to let the chrome go extinct like the doo-doo bird... .
Hope this helps you out friend and you can get what you want.

Default If you like Chrome

Got my stock C8 wheels chromed for $995 through the Corvette Wheel Exchange Program at West Coast Corvettes. Got a lot of compliments on them all summer.

Really like your Ferrari Your chrome wheels not so much. However, it's your car so my opinion means nothing. Enjoy it!

I'm old and I used to own several vehicles with chrome wheels. I like to think that I have outgrown them. Went with black wheels on my 2014 C7 and now I have the Spectra Gray Tridents on my C8. I don't think I'll ever go back to chrome.

Same here! Went with black wheels on my 2014 C7. Went with black again on my C8. I’m SURE I’ll never go back to chrome.

Sorry to say not mine. A friend who has been nice enough to let me examine his to help me decide on options. Love this wheel.

Old is relative but I assume I am in the same category of "old".

BUT, you would not catch me dead with Chrome Wheels on my C8, or a fanny pack on my waist, or New Balance shoes on my feet.

Sorry......

BTW, awesome Ford GT and Ferrari !!
