Question on polished wheels
I need to replace 1 of my front 17" rims that I purchased from AAA Rims. The body shop ordered a rim from Chevy and it came in only polished on the out side not the inner barrel. My rims I purchased were polished inside and out plus clear coated. I have seen these before and figured that was the way they came.
Does any one know if GM made a 2000 to 2004 FULL polished rim or were these polished after the fact.??
Coupe not ZO6 and rims are off a 2001.

The body shop is at a large Chevy dealer and all the other parts came from GM so I expected the rim to come from GM as well.
Thanks for answers and I will go down Monday and look at back of rim to see if it has GM part #.
I thought they all came polished ft. & rear
