If you look at the wheels in the photo album on allblack's ride...I have those wheels which came on my 2001 GT....at under 60k on all four, the chrome is chipping/flaking...Does anyone else have this problem..

 

It happens with chrome. Certainly not quickly, but since chrome is just a layering ontop of the base metal (which can add over 5 pounds per rim).

A alternative is highly polished aluminum rims, like those found on new Z06's. Never have to worry about a layer chipping off because there isn't one to chip off.

 

Best part about aluminum, get 4-5 years of abuse on them..they can always be polished by a shop and look brand new again.

 

just have them bead bleasted and power coated chrome you won't have that problem again
