Heres pics of the ONLY 2 different factory variations . As you can see the lip is different on the earlier wheels .

Silver painted . These were only on the 95 Firehawk( 96 and 97 used the same thin spoke wheel of the 98-02's ) and all 95-97 Comp T/A Trans Am's .



Here is the mid year 01 to 02 polished/clearcoated wheel .


If youve seen chrome ones, someone had them chromed . They never came that way new .

Polished, from what I've heard, is a pain in the ***. However, I don't own any polished rims myself. If you went with polished wheels I would think about having them powder coated clear.
