i have seen thoes before, along with the 2000 SLE and SSEi, crosslace version. I think the wheel that looks the best is the 92-99 Crosslace Chromed

most any chrome wheel is a alloy wheel. The chrome is just a plating over the wheel

Those are awesome. Price is VERY reasonable IMO. If I had a Bonneville now I'd be willing to put my bid on those -those in chrome look almost as good as chrome torquestars.

Price doesn't seem TOO bad, but if they were mint I'd buy them for $400. I wouldn't get them in the condition they're in (until I saw good pics at least), especially with one wheel with scratches and one with a chip in it. He sold some other rims that had in the description "air bubbles in the chrome." I wonder if the chrome plating on his rims are good quality :?

My parents got some chrome OE rims for their 03 Monte Carlo SS. Same rims they have now, just chromed. They got them from ebay, not sure if it'* the same guy in that link, but the guy said there were no blemishes, and when my parents got the rims, there was a 1/4 chip/dent right in the middle of one of the spokes. The only reason my parents kept them was becasue they got them for a cheap price (they didn't tell me how much)....and probably because it would have been a PITA to return them.
