polished I think. I actually do not know where they are from though. I do know some people polished their own.
I have seen pictures of both chromed and polished sawblades. Neither were a factory option as far as I'm aware.
they're just sanded-down and polished stockers...
sawblades only came in white, gray and black...
EDIT: like this, right?

yea, i want to kno the process of getting them bladez to look that nice too. So there IS a difference in POLISHED blades and CRHOME right? For the CHROME ones do i have to get them sprayed? I would love to know more about it. Doing this mod until enough money is saved for new rims.^_^
You'll also need the metal center caps for the sawbladz to look complete, which are hard to come by from what I've heard. Most center caps are plastic (like mine).
Before you all get your hand polishers out you might wanna find out from a local chrome shop or wheel shop just what it costs to have the stock wheels polished to a mirror finish. I know that if you have them chromed which looked awesome in the pics, they usually polish the rims to a mirror finish prior to the plating. Also if you do have them chromed, even plastic center pieces can be chromed, just remove the spring clip.
actually, many Toyota dealerships offered the chrome wheels as options, likely thru a vendor, not the manufacture. You can tell which ones came from dealerships as the insides of all the cutouts are painted black. I had a set on my 86.5 that I purchased off ebay and just sold them on ebay a month or so ago. I just replaced them with 17" MKIV twin turbo polished wheels and I love these ones!
There are two online companies out there that I know of that will chrome plate your wheels. One of the links below will also "chrome" plate your plastic center caps to make it look kewl.

I seem to recall a thread with detailed information on how to strip and polish sawblades. I cannot seem to find it. Can someone find it and post it? If I'm not imagining it, maybe it should be a sticky.
