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...

I really like chrome wheels on cars, but especially darker colored cars! They look good on lighter colors too, but they don't stand out as much since there is not a big contrast.

If you really don't pay attention to the appearance of your wheels, you may want to save the money, but the chrome should really set this car off! Especially since it will compliment the other chrome touches on the car (grille, hood vents, etc)

The chrome wheels are heavier. No point wasting money too if you plan on getting aftermarket ones later on as well.

After market wheels

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???

Seen a blue Solstice and it had the painted wheels I think it gave balance to the car, where chrome might have been a major focus point IMO. I'm going with painted. I do like the Solstice wheels better than the ones on the SKy

I would like to see my options prior to making any committments but I will probably go with the best of everything on my Sky that is offered. This is likely to be my only chance at it.:driving:

It would be nice to see the Sky with some wire wheels on them.

Chrome, is the only to go I think. Adds value to vehicle, and looks damn good I think. Ernest

I'd like to have the chrome wheels, but aw man, $800 extra... I dunno if I can afford it.

My wife and I decided to go with painted. In a few years, when the tires wear out we will put after market wheels on. By that time there should be more wheels offered.

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.

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.
