They do have polished alum rims in that style. It was an option. Ebay is bound to have a few sets.

Did you replace the rims or get new clad covers?

The rim is solid aluminum, just like the unclad, the wheel is just not chromed. I like the looks of the 08 wheels myself, the older ones with the fat spokes just don's look as good. But that is just my personal opinion so don't flame me if you own an 05-back
