Ive heard others say this about the chrome OE Wheels, but Ive had my chrome ZR1's from OE Wheels for 3 years now and they are holding up fine. Of couse the car is a weekend/summer toy though.

Yeah my car is a summer car only aswell so I don't have to worry about the chrome getting hit with salt or other bad things lol, that OE site is the only one thats had any packages I was looking for I checked the other 2 didnt really have anything
I think many people think that chrome should stand up to any weather and that is simply not the case. Having working for Discount Tire for 7 years, I can tell you that NO chrome wheels last unless they are for summer/dry weather only. Every OEM chrome wheel, every aftermarket chrome wheel, they all begin to pit and flake. If the car is ever going to see winter or even wet seasons, chrome is not the way to go.
