"Really shiny wheels" = High Polished Aluminum (Hi-Po)
Sparkle Silver = Painted

I don't know if you are member of clubgp. This guy is selling 4 set of polished rims with tires for $200. That's for pick it up that he live in PA. Probably not worth to drive but maybe you could ask him to meet halfway or pay extra shipping which I think he won't.

Chrome is more of a mirror finish. Polished while still bright won't be as "crisp"
