Question - is this chromed wheel original?

[fynbos]

Did someone chrome these at some point or polish the heck out of the OEM?

It looks like an after market "copy" to me; some of the dimensions don't look quite right!

Chromed style 35s maybe?

Only way to know is check the markings on the inner side.

Yes. Seen these on a few Zeds, mainly on US or Japanese market cars. They were a legit option called ‘Summer Chrome’ I think

They’re regrettable.
