    That's polished by the way. They never made a "chrome" rim for a GP. They're just highly polished is all.

    sean there were 2 types of 5 spokes AFAIK...the polished chrome and aluminum where the aluminum flaked after a while IIRC.

    Polished aluminum and painted aluminum. I know this seeing as I have the painted ones and two people I work with have the polished ones. I've taken a few of them off, they weigh the same.

    Here's a model sheet with available trim and options listed for 1997. 1997-99 being the years that had these wheels available for GT/GTP. High Polish, and White for White Cars, are listed, Silver being the standard rim:

    Edit: Feel free to reference the other years if you wish as well.

    All but one of my painted ones are in pretty good shape, it's really just the polished aluminum ones that do. And it depends on the upkeep. Some people keep theirs in REALLY good shape, other don't and drive poorly resulting in curb rash which starts that flaking and oxidization.
