2003 vert wheel options
A friend of mine just bought a 03 MY vert and I think it has magnesium color wheels. Other than the polished and magnesium, were there any other options from the factory?

Base wheels were painted thin spokes. Looks like about 11,000 03s came with them.

Silver / gray. Your choice as to what you want to call it.
The Mag wheels are more of a bronze.

For 2003, GM also made the painted 5-spoke wheel (silver in color) and the anniversary edition wheel (champagne in color).
