Default Are all WS6 wheels the same?

I have an 00' WS6 and want to know if the wheels are polished or chrome?

And based on that, what is the best way to clean/shine them up?

Thanks all.

96-00 Style 1
01-02 Style 2

They came in either silver or polished. I would get that Mother's powerball thingy and some mothers wheel polish.

Your wheels are polished, but they're probably clearcoated.

The "3 arm twist" wheels were only available for a short time, in one model year - 2000 I think...

Look up ws6sojuiced01 on here he has a 2001 WS6 with the "crazy 3 arm twist wheels" with real life pics. He doesnt like them but I think it's alright because you don't see em all the time.
