Does anyone know where the cheapest place is to get 17" WS6 wheels in chrome?

Seeing as how the chrome versions are very rare, I'd say the only place you would find them is on E-bay. I've seen them on there before.
Keep in mind, almost all the WS6 rims where polished aluminum and then clear coated. So if you have a hard time finding them, you might just get a set of stockers and have them chromed.

Doesn't anyone make a replica of the WS6? I mean they make replica's of pretty much every other wheel out there.

I'm looking around for you. Do you want the 96-00 WS6 rims


or the 01-02 mushroom looking ones?


If I remember right, the chromed WS6 rims were an option from SLP only and was pretty rare. You might try calling up Trans Am Creations on the offhand chance they might have some.

This place has a lot of replicas, but I didn't see any in your style.

You may have to chrome them yourself if you really want that style.

I'm looking for the 96-00 wheels. I didn't know the 17's where only polished. My Formula has the chrome 16" stock. Weird.

That's not weird at all. Most, if not all, of the 16's were chromed.

The 96-00 WS6 rims came from SLP, I think, and were left in the polished finish while the factory 16's came from GM. I guess GM felt their chrome finish was better or more durable. While SLP probably just wanted to save some money. That's my theory, anyway.
