A friend of mine bought his 18" Z06 chrome rims from them. He's very happy with them and they look very high quality.

I bought a set of 19x9.5 Chrome 5 spoke rims for my SS and they had the same part # as the factory silver ones I took off. Excellent quality no problems.

Default Has anyone here ever bought Chrome wheels from AAA rims?

Once again, I’m considering new wheels. I don’t want a different design than the stock wheels, but the GM high polishing isn’t the greatest. So I want my WS6s in chrome. My question is, how good is AAAs chrome? I’ve bought other wheels from them in the past, but never chrome.

Anybody have any of their chrome wheels? How are they holding up? Was the finish real nice?

Thanks for any info you guys can give.

I bought a set of chrome Z06 reproductions from them.

Very nice quality. Very shiny, good finish. I will be honest, there are a couple of rough spots, but I don't think it is unavoidable. Even my Chrome ZR-1's from the factory on my SS weren't perfect.

The inside surface of the wheel is plated too.

Thanks for the responses guys <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

I think I’ll be ordering a set after I see how much money I have left at the end of the month...

I bought a set of chrome Z06s from them too. The guy on the phone was helpful, the wheels were in stock, and they arrived if a few days. I have nothing bad to say about them.
