Are these the stock '82 Formula wheels?

Not sure how those look exactly... are they 15"s or 16"s?

If u could find a pic, I could give my $.02..

I've seen them before, but I never thought they looked that good.

I would just strip off the clear-coat and polish up the aluminum. I think it has a much better tone for rims.

I checked into getting my bird wheels chromed but the only place I could find that would do it wanted $800.00 + shipping both ways to florida to do it. I just ended up stripping,polishing,and match painting them to the car, came out pretty well considering I didn't spend that much time on them.
