    I have heard the same thing. Saw it on a Corvette as wheel my first weekend at the track. Guy had a crack in one of them that had been chromed. Just stick with OEM wheels that haven't been blinged.

    Chrome wheels also tend to corrode under the chrome, especially in the bead making it impossible to hold air

    There's a couple of sets of 17+18" z06 take offs on Houston craigslist right now. One for 450 (with tires), other for 550 (with better tires). If one is so inclined, you can probably make some decent $ back selling off the 18s and the tires.

    Too rich/too much risk for my blood.
