Question Factory Upgraded Rims

Quick question...

I assume most of us have either the base rims or have spent the money to get aftermarkets...

While in the dealer the other day.. I noticed they has "factory upgrade" alloy rims on the wall...They where similar to the regulars, but a little different.... still 17"

Anyone get these? If so, how much where they?
Anyone get the factory chromes from the dealer? How much where those?

- Just wondering since the vast majority of GX's are on the same rims... Are the dealers even advertising / pushing these options?

When I purchased my GX in December of 2003, I took it to a local Chrome Shop and traded the wheels for a set of chromed ones of the same design. Cost me about $500.

Recently, I bought a set of OEMs 17s for my GS for about $800 with no trade in. Put the old wheels and tires on my ES.

I have no idea what you saw on the wall at the dealers.
