I never have been a big "wheel" guy...always owned pick-ups. This will be first of many "mid-life" cars...will the chrome be worth the $$$$?
it depends on if you like Chrome.... it is a matter of taste, I am going to get the painted wheels...ishot3bucks said:I never have been a big "wheel" guy...always owned pick-ups. This will be first of many "mid-life" cars...will the chrome be worth the $$$$?
www.kappasphere.comWGH said:I have been searching the web to find after market wheels. Has anyone found a supplier? My understanding is that the wheel size is 18x8,110x5 and a 55mm (what ever that means). All of the web sites I go to show no wheels for a Solstice (which should be the same) or a Sky. I am not certain if I like the stock chrome wheels but have seen several after market wheels that I like. Any comments on after market wheels???![]()

I doubt that the chromed wheels are heavier. They are the exact same wheels only with chrome on them. If you remove the paint and replace with chrome surface you may actually reduce weight by a few grams or so.brentil said:The chrome wheels are heavier. No point wasting money too if you plan on getting aftermarket ones later on as well.
Um, we have official weights and the chrome is the heaviest, followed by painted, followed by polished. Chroming a wheel ADDS material to the wheel, jsut like painting it.frednorris said:I doubt that the chromed wheels are heavier. They are the exact same wheels only with chrome on them.
