Aluminum Polished Wheels???

[06Torch]

Hello all,
I built a nice '91 Fox with a 5-lug conversion. I later sold it and the current owner bent one of the polished aluminum wheels on it where it can not be repaired. I've called Summit Racing and American Muscle along with a few local wheel and tire places here in Houston. The wheel is a 17x9 polished Bullitt wheel for a 94'-98 Stang. If I'm not mistaken, the overall width got wider after 98' so, the offset may be different.

I guess polished aluminum has fallen out of favor or chrome has gotten cheaper? Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately I can not. The rim is in Corpus, TX and I'm not sure when he's heading back there. The owner took it to 2 shops where he was told it was beyond repair. This thing is seriously out of round. I had one rim on my '06 that didn't even have curb rash and it too was out of round. I can have him send me pics and see if I can post them but it doesn't look good.

I tried fleebay but only polished chrome seems to be available. Even in '04 when I began the project of "restoring" the Stang to it's present glory, wheel stores never advertised polished aluminum wheels. I remember having to call Summit Racing and getting their part number to order them.
