How do you like their chrome? Has it stayed well?
IMO the Legends will look really good on the Camaro. Considering my wheels are exposed to all the elements I'm quite happy with the chrome. No pitting or bubbling problems. They get a weekly cleaning (plus touch ups) and a good scrub down and coat of wax every 3 months to keep them preserved.

These will be strictly spring and summer rims, so I shouldn't get too much elements, but I'm glad to hear the chrome is holding up nicely

Default before and after wheels

Got my new wheels on the 5th Generation Monte. First ones were the Stock and I had dressed the bowtie with a carbon fiber look and then added a red #3 outline. The new wheels are the Diamond Cut from the 6th Gen. Monte's I have attached a photo for reference.

No spacers (I altered the offset of the wheel for a slightly wider stance) or wheel adapters. I did use hub centrics though to insure the wheel was centered. I'm running Pirelli P4 225x55R17 tires on 17x7.5 wheels.

Do you think chrome peeling on a high quality wheel is a legitimate concern if I clean the wheels every week or so? It will be used in the winter as well...

Here's the Chromies, only in summer. I run the original rims with Snow tires in the winter.
The Chromies are American Racing 'Casino' (fitting for a Monte Carlo) 18x8 with Nitto 555 245/45-18
