It's not chrome! That wheel is anodized, like someone already said. They probably anodized the **** out of it, to get a thick layer on there, and then they polished it. I would just buy the painted Z06 rims and have them stripped and then anodized. A lot of places do it, we even do it one of the machine shops here at school. It's ghetto rigged but it works.

I wasn't aware that Z06 rims fit on ours trucks, they're 5 on 4.75". Do they make a 6 lug or something?

edit: These must be for your TA, huh?
