Really? I've heard that they made em but they were only when you custom ordered em from American Racing? I'd say I need to go polish the ones I have and see that they're all chrome but the spokes are bright, shiny chrome, just the lips are polished

You can get em Chrome from certain places or if you get em custom from American Racing you can get the half/half is what I've found out..I think I'm gonna pick up some polished ones then paint the spokes black with the polished lip

Speaking of TT2s, where can one order AR wheels at a cheap price? Such as TT2s, TTMs, etc.
