This ^^^^^ they really need a redisign.To think that Chevy designed a world class car with Pinto type Clown wheels.

No need to apologize they are passable in chrome but thats like putting lipstick on a pig..They sell tons of Corvettes with those wheels because there is no other choice.Look at the choices we have had in the past.

You have a 4200 mile garage queen C7 in LBR with chrome wheels. Very manly. You’re surely of course entitled to your strident opinions, just as those who read them are entitled to know the source.

Bird, you have to be one of the most bitter angry forum members I've run across, and that's saying a lot.

You should be used to people putting their opinions on here, it's the whole purpose of a forum.

The black Chrome is kinda cool…complaining about a lack of Chrome wheel options is up there with complaining about the lack of a tape deck. They’ve both gone the way of the dodo bird.

West Coast Corvette is great with their wheel exchange program. I've used them twice with no issues.

FWIW I like the chrome wheels on some cars. I didn't go with them on my C8 because I wanted as much black as I could get to offset the Torch Red.

FD, since you have experience with WCC, how was the exchange process? Any issues with return shipping?
