Chromed versions of the alloys aren't offered per se from the factory, but it looks like a dealer did in fact chrome the factory alloys on a Vibe... http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=12333I bought a set of 15" steel wheels w/ Blizzaks for the winter, and the only wheel covers I could find that I liked and that looked Pontiac-ish were chrome. Here's how the chrome looks on my 2-tone Neptune, if that will help you picture the stock alloys chromed with the rest of the car...

Yeah, I know. I had a free set of bolt-on Grand Am wheel covers I could have used. But no, it didn't work out that way, I had to spend money. Silly Toyota!
