Default A question of Wheels

I have a 2002 Torch Red Coupe - I'm looking for "After Market" Wheels - Standard size.

I think it's 17 up front and 18 in the rear. I DO NOT WANT CHROME -

I'd like to find Polished Aluminum. Has anyone had luck in finding a good selection of Polished Aluminum wheels? I found the Manta by Cray - silver with polished lip and one set by OZ (but they are very very expensive).

Appreciate any one's help in pointing me to a website that doesn't just offer styles in Chrome. Chrome will not last - it pits way to easy because I think the Chinese don't do it well - that seems to be where all the wheels are being made these days.

You can check OEwheelsllc, and there is also JW motoring who is a vendor on this site. They have different styles that are good quality.

Are you interested in a set of authentic '04 C5 Z06 wheels that are polished and clear coated?

I have a set that are brand new - never mounted in the original GM boxes. Obviously as OEM wheels, offsets and fitment is perfect. They are 17x9.5 and 18x10.5.

These are much lighter in weight than the Chinese replica wheels sold by some vendors....they are made by Speedline in Italy.
