need a new rim

[Pjw350]

ok I have a 03 grand am gt and i one rim is bent and needs replacement. Are the gt rims different then the se ones? are the gt ones chrome or paint with a clearcoat on them?. I will probably be looking on this site and ebay for a replacement.

I think the 03 the SE became available with the chrome 5 spoke rims. They arent real chrome, they are a plastic chrome cover over the wheel.

Thanks Im pretty sure I have the painted rims with a clearcoat. Thanks

Are yours chrome or silver?

thats what im trying to figure out. They apprear to be chrome and are discolored from the lack of cleaning from the previous owner but I cant tell. They have a shine. Im trying to figure out what options were available for the 03 year with a gt coupe

If it looks like this then it's a plastic piece that I think they glued to the wheel. I dont beleive theres anyway to shine them up if they're super dull.
