Just a suggestion
Someone in here would buy a set of chrome wheels for you , and you sell yours to him plus some $$$ for you to do whatever you want |

Awesome, thanks for sharing. This is exactly what I'm looking for. I realize that alot of people like the black wheels on the 1LE and the black hood wrap, but personally I hate them both. I'm going to chrome the wheels and replace the hood wrap with some stripes in April. I'll share some before and after photos when done.
Thanks everyone for your help! |

I previously spoke with some polishers about this idea.
They would need to remove the paint and see what the metal underneath looked like. Some metal will polish better than others. The general opinion was that metal that was not originally made to be exposed often does not polish well. I got a set of factory 10-spokes, and they are out getting power coated silver. I will post some pix when they get back. |

Phastek performance sells 10 spokes, chrome in multiple sizes. Worth giving their page a glance.

Check out the Blue Ray Metallic forum a Guy has the chrome ZL1 and 1LE 10 spoke rims on his BRM. The chrome actually looks better on the BRM than on the green one for some reason to me.
