Most likely they're OEM. The OEM wheels are popular as factory option. Hardly anyone chrome their OEM GS wheels. For the price of chroming, most people could probably go out and buy a used set of chrome GS wheels 
But if you can provide a picture, it would help out a lot.

i wanted to make sure that the replica wheels are not the possible cause of vibration. I heard that replica's are not made as good as the OEM ones and i'm guessing that can affect ride quality. But, i believe my vibration has more to do with the Continental tires.

I've been installing replica vette and mustang wheels on cars for years, and have never had an issue with them...
I would go along with your first assumption that the Continentals are to blame... lemme guess.... conti extreme contact, aka, low-pro all-terrain... I had more issues with those tires than ANY other low profile performance tire... so much to the point that unless a customer specifically wanted them, I wouldn't even bring them up as an option...

won't affect ride quality so long as they are round and the hub bore fits properly...

Hey mitsuguy, thanks for your input! I actually did see that my rims are OEM, i found the Toyota logo (hidden by brake dust!)
You nailed it right on the head, it is the ContiExtreme Contacts. I'm thinking of getting the Michelin Pilot Sports A/s. How would you rate those compared to the Continentals in ride quality, not flat spotting or causing vibration, and tracking straight?
