You won't find it.  You can have rims custom made but that's on the spendy
side.

My rims are by American Racing.  I paid $80/each or less for them but that
was
over 10 years ago.  They are chromed aluminum.

Nope, stock rims are 15"x4.5".  Mine are 15"x5.5" and juuust fit under the
fenders with 195/60x15 rubbers.

Ya lost me here.  Aluminum is nice because it's light.  Chrome is just the
"paint" over the metal, be it steel or aluminum, and isn't what the rim is
made
of.
