Ebay has listings for chrome 20's. They want $1500.00 plus your old wheels. They are charging a $800 core charge until they get your old wheels. In essence you are paying $2300 for a set of 4 wheels. Plus you are paying shipping twice. Once to receive the chrome wheels and once to senfd your wheels back to get the $800. What this breaks down to is $575.00 per wheel plus shipping 2 times. Yikes!

aftermarket wheels for the 2010 Camaro are heating up. More seen almost daily.

Find a chrome plating company in your area, I'm sure it'll be a fair bit more affordable.

That being said, it certainly isn't going to be cheap. (~$1000+)

theres alot of work involved. especially if you have the midnight silver paint on the 20's. that has to be stipped off. if you have the polished wheels its not as much labor. just buy some aftermarket wheels.

I would buy after market wheels. By time you go through the chroming process you might have more money in it.

I'd wait till people start buying aftermarket wheels then buy a set of lightly used chrome factory wheels on CZ28/craigslist/ebay/camaro5/etc.

Not my car. Posted a few months back on Camaro5 and cross posted here as well as other forums.
