Listing says they are "factory chrome polished 5 star rims". Polished aluminum was factory no??

My factory wheels sure as hell don't shine like this.

Those are the speedline ws6 wheels from mid 01-02. They are either really nice or have been stripped and polished. The only chrome wheels were the 16 inch firebird wheels.

Yes those are factory 01-02 WS6 wheels. I run them on my TA. Mine are polished aluminum, but I've never hand polished them. If I did my set would look like those.

If they're polished aluminum w/ no clear over them, then sure, with a good metal polish and some work they will shine almost like chrome. The guy could of also, like other's said, stripped the clear off (if that's how they come from the factory) and had them highly polished, then just maintained them. Or, another thing, he could of had them stripped and chromed...

Wheels are factory Id want to know why the stickers in the door have been peeled and reattached, theyre made to shred like that to prevent tamporing.
