Default Are these the same 18" OEM polished bullitts?

I like the OEM 18" wheel option. My car came with the 17" machined aluminum. I'm going to run those in the winter months.

I've had plans from the start to pick up the OEM 18" polished bullitts and put a nice summer tire on them. However, with all this talk about polished and chrome, I am confused as to which one is the OEM 18" polished bullitt. Does Ford ofter a polished and chrome version? Are those terms interchangable?

Here is a link for what I think everyone refers to as the OEM 18" polished bullitts: http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...tKeyField=9095

Polished and chrome are not the same. The link you provided were for the painted silver ones which is different all together.

Chrome is a bright mirror finish. Polished looks a lot like satin but slightly brighter. My wheels are the polished ones.

Scroll down here, you can see a little difference but it's not a great picture.

That link showed me the difference. Thanks.

Is there any way to get the polished ones in wider than just eight inches? I'd prefer to run 18x9" with my summer tires.
