Are our stock aluminum wheels solid aluminum all the way through. Someone was telling me that I could take some aluminum polish and polish them to look like chrome. I know you can do that on solid aluminum wheels, but I was under the impression that our wheels are just some other metal with aluminum looking paint over top of it.

Re: Stock wheel question
Yes but what are you going to do for a center cap? are yours 97-99 or 2000+. or salad shooters? asfgar as it taking weeks. . try a week all day for 1 week. polished some 17s with a friend its NO FUN!!! wetsanding and re sanding. .. .. .and more sanding?!?!? then you cant feel your fingers and sand MORE!!!!. all in all not worth that much time on 16 inch wheels would look nice though. but not as nice as chrome 17's or 18's. just save time and money till you get "real" rims
