I bought mine from discount. I haven't had a problem and they're good about resolving issues with anything bought from them:

I did a wheel exchange with The Wheel Specialist and have had no issue with mine which are OEM wheels. I'm waiting on my rear 22" to come and I'll be selling my tires, wheels with TPMS as a package in a few weeks I hope. Chrome does look killer on these cars!

I'd go with ohio-speed.. they have brand new OEM factory original take-off wheels chromed

Thanks to all who responded!

The Ohio Speed wheels will probably be my choice, when i pull the trigger.
I know the wheels themselves will be up to
GM standards since they are OEM.

Follow Up **

I placed an order with Ohio Speed for their chromed OEM wheels.
I got a call today from the owner,Jim, that the info on the website in incorrect. He said that they are replica wheels that are chromed, not factory. He said he was sorry for the mix-up, but wanted to let me know
before he went ahead and processed my order. He will be changing the web info to reflect that they are selling "replica" wheels.

Although disappointed that they are not what I wanted, I commend Jim
for personally contacting me. That is good business practice in my opinion.
Jim says "that's the way he does business and wants to keeps his customers satisfied"

Still looking to find OEM chromed SS wheels, any help appreciated

Thanks,
Whitey

I've met Jim at CFest last year and I've had some PM's and emails with him over the past year or so. Good dude though I've never done business with him direct, yet. Yea I thought those were replica wheels.

I'm still trying to get my new 22" on. I had to buy a Pittsburgh floor jack which I've been needing for some time now, then I still couldn't get up under the car being lowered and side skirts so I had to buy some ramps today. Thought I'd make the afternoon of it but ended up having to cut two clients hair here at my home shop so maybe, just maybe Good Friday will be a good Friday. Still not sure if I'll sell my factory chrome wheels or not but if I do, I want to sell the wheels, tires and TMPS all together since they're coming straight off the car. Dunno

These are the best I have on pics of mine. They've only been on the care since November of 2011 and the car was down for considerable time due to 4 surgeries I had from November 28Th 2011 to December 27Th 2012. I did manage to drive the car to CFest which was held here in Indy. probably have less than 2K on the wheels and only 8K on the P Zero's. Like I said, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them and I hope to get them swapped out today when I get back at noon. Really don't want to deal with pulling the tires from the wheels and removing TPMS, so if I sell I want them all to go as a package in the same boxes the new wheels came in. Just saying..... I'll have a better idea later today.

The wheels from Ohio-Speed may be fine and nice wheels. I just don't know.

I do know that I want factory chromed wheels, peferable new. My only solution may be send mine out to be chromed.

No real hurry, so I'll just look around for ahwile.

Wheel, I got my 22"s on today, took just about all day to get it done but its a done deal. Here are the OEM chrome SS wheels that I have. They're mounted on the P Zero Pirelli tires with the TPMS sensors, blanced, Gorilla locks that are 5 locking lugs per wheel (20) and nitrogen filled. The tires only have 8K on them. Having the police car as my daily driver with unlimited usage, the Camaro stays parked a lot and zero driving in the winter months.

Anyway, I don't think I'll be keeping these. No place in the garage for them and I plan to close out my Public Storage unit within the next month. I have boxed these up for shipping and will hit up state police logistics for a banding device to band them around the circumference as well as a couple of times on each side of the boxes. Trying to figure a good price for the entire package.
