Default Recommendations and or links needed

I ran a similar ad in parts for sale wanted with no success.

Looking for recommendations of shops or vendors who sell reconditioned 2000 - 2004 OEM GM wheels. 1st preference is 2000 thin spoke, painted polished or magnesium.

Would also consider NOS

Or other places I may look then here ,Ebay and local Craigslist.

I trying to upgrade the wheels I have that have corrosion inside. These are for the non summer months so painted is fine.

Thanks

You really don't want the factory chrome wheels. Back then, they were doing pretty poor chroming on the factory wheels.

You want a set of painted rims, and if you want chrome, have a local shop chrome them.

They are all over most of the Craigslist sites.
Also, I would not buy a set of used rims without throwing them on a balancer first. I typically have the seller meet me at a friend's shop, and if they are not bent, or severely out of balance, I'll buy them.
