Wheels & Tires - Question for OEM T/A wheel experts.....

For 98-02 T/A's, I'm wanting to know if the 17"x9" 5-spoke wheels were ever made in chrome (not Speedlines). I do know they were made in the following finishes.....

1. Silver painted
2. Polished/clear-coated
3. Blue annodized (99)
4. Black w/polished lip (02)

Chrome-plated?

Pictures?

you mean like mine?? Mine are stock OEM chrome 5 stars..

^^^ Yes. Except in 17".

you can get the polished ws6 wheels and take the clear coat off them.

Yeah, but I'm having trouble finding OEM 17's without damage (curb rash!)...

If I could find a nice set like new, I'd buy them in a minute. That's my favorite wheel...

Yes, they made 17's just like the 16's.

No, the WS6 Wheels were not made in chrome

Well.........that clears that up.

I think Redlinez meant that they look similar in style. I know for a fact they never made WS6 wheels in chrome, although they should have because my clearcoated ones have dull spots from the factory. It will be hard to find a perfect set, seeing that the oem wheel weights left nasty marks on my 10000 mile wheels. Try buying two here, two there or buy more than 4 and use the rashed 2 as drag wheels and put nittos on them.

Yeah, that's good advise. I've seen some on eBay that looked pretty good.

Lakeshorewheelandtire.com has some WS6 replicas that are chrome. Click on the firebird specials.

Those are beautiful wheels... I really like the stock look, but I love chrome also...

You've got PM...

Kool, glad I could help.

Yep, I'm like you - I've always really liked the chrome factory five stars ... but $1200 to go to 17's? I think I'll keep rollin' on 16's ...

I'd love a set of those Lakeshore chrome WS6s. I'd trade my chrome Hawk rims for em.

What is their web site?

I am also in need of a set. This is what happened yesterday to my WS6 wheels. I think it happended from the previous owner chrome coating the stockers improperly. I'm glad the wheel held up and didn't bust.

I'm looking at Lakeshore right now...kind of expensive for a replacement set, but obviously I need a new set yesterday...

Also trying to get info on that other company...
