That is chrome. Chrome is out of style but do whatever you like, not what anyone else likes.

I saw this car in FB ZL1 group. Not sure if this person is on here or not. I believe his set up is stripped and polished, not chrome.

Love it. If I had plans to keep my Z would get the wheels chromed.

I think silver coated wheels look better on darker colors. They can be powder coated in various shades of silver for a about $200 or so the last time I checked with the place I use. I'd do this before switching to aftermarket wheels.

The coating from Detroit wheels is PVD Chrome. Not actual chrome plating...it's lighter and more durable. You can actually polish scratches out similar to a polish wheel but it doesn't get dull like Polish. I like it...I have stock SS 5 spokes PVD coated from Detroit wheel. They have held up very well and show less dust compared to black wheels.
