Anyone chrome their stock 18" GS wheels?
Thought about doing it but I personally think chrome only looks good when you have deep dish rims, and the GS stock wheels have no dip at all.
Plus, 18" may be too small for chrome.

when you say "they" have stock chrome, do you mean the lexus dealer sells them or do you mean that they exist. i've seen a carshop site that does the chroming for lexus wheels.

in town we have shops that will do it for you under some trade out program. They take yours and give you chrome ones and a bill for a few hundred bucks

2 Thumbs down and 2 big toes down. The car is nice but the black wheels make the car invisible like a police car.

I like it in a different way. Maybe if it was for track usage.
