Default Re: WTB: Factory 2007 or 2008 Chrome Wheels

2008 have 2 wheels, both new. The "uplevel" alloy wheel is a polished version of the standard alloy. It is a brand new style, and look. They are not chrome plated. The 2003-2007 standard alloy wheel have 2 chrome versions: wheels that were sent to a chrome plater by the dealer, and factory chrome. The difference between the two are a completely smooth version (re-chromed) or a shinny face with a what resembles an 80 grit sandpaper look in the grooves (factory chrome wheel). The grooves resemble a chrome look (shinny), but it is not smooth to the touch. The factory chrome wheels usually hold up better to rust, and chipping.
