C5 rims

Hey guys, I recently acquired a set of C5 rims that aren't in the best of shape. My plan is to try to refinish them myself, but I don't know if they are chrome or polished aluminum. I suppose my question is does it matter? I plan to do so following the guidelines here ==> http://www.gmtips.com/3rd-degree/dox.../info/info.htm

BTW, these are the rims I am working with
(not the actual rims, but this style)

Re: C5 rims

it may not be the only way to tell, but if the rims are in rough shape, they would be flaking if they're chrome, polished will not

Re: C5 rims

Just check up if the stock C5 Wheels are chrome or aluminum.
