Default looking for chrome WS6 wheels. 96-01 style.

Anybody know who still sells these? I know slp did, but no longer.

I need tires, so i figure might be a good time to put some chrome rims on, to replace my polised ones.

Or if anybody knows where to get chrome hawk rims for under 1K a set, let me know.

I have considered getting mine chromed, but want to see a photoshop of it first. No need to chrome them if the wheel won't look good in chrome...

A friend of mine used http://www.calchrome.com to get his Viper acr's done... and let me say they are PERFECT. 2 year warranty on the chrome. If I chrome mine, I'll use that company.

the stock wheels are polished, or painted silver, depending on year.

SLP DID sell them in chrome, my friend has them on his 00 WS6 Formula.

that is what i want, a stock style wheel, but with a chrome finish.

The price to get them chromed is not worth it, i could buy them in chrome for 1000 or so, and sell mine for 500-600. Not to mention, mine have some curb rash due to previous owner, which i would like to fix.

Yeah, that wheel from SLP is different. This is the 2001 WS6 Wheel. Curbed and nasty, that is.

That place priced me at 200 a wheel, and that included fixing them and chroming them.

they used 2 different rims on the 01 ws6, the ones you have, and the old style that im looking for.

I have some of those rims in my attic. I want the old style, like i have on my car, and that pic of the chrome one.

they're damaged. 1 must be repaired, the other should be too

I'll sell them, (CHEAP) and ship direct to the wheel repair place of your choice.
