    I would say they are machine polished, but either could be done.

    It wouldnt be cheap to have them chromed but most electroplaters would be able to do it? Look up electroplating in the yellow pages mate.

    Performance wise, What makes Interceptors so good?
    Everyone swears by 'em
    I guess they would be.......coz their light, strong and sturdy.

    ... and freakin' cheap. more than half the people who drive early-model commodores do it because they are on a budget, and I picked up four interceptors with good tyres for $120. Go figure...

    Well idealy your meant to poilsh alloy rims, ceptors are stealies so i think the technique is different. I havnt done it before but basically you use an orbit sander and change grit either up or down im not sure.

    I havnt done my rims yet and probs wont either atm, i gotta buy a turbo next week.

    People often use stockies on there performance cars because whats the point of having sik rims on a performance car? also if you blow a tire who cares if u fcuk up the rims? and yes there cheap.
