Default Chroming the 400h rims?

Hello,

I have an '05 RX 330 ... had the dealers do the chrome exchange deal on the 18"s for about $1000. Has anyone had their 400h rims chromed or does Lexus offer this exchange program for the Hybrid as well? If anyone has a picture of them chromed, I'd love to see them. I've been thinking of trading up for a 400h.

Thanks!

We had the factory chromed wheels option on our '06 RXh, and it looks great on Black Onyx. I'll try to get photos.

That would be great! I'd really appreciate it.

I had chrome wheels on my LS400 and after about 5 years the chrome started flaking off. I ended up buying new wheels and using the old ones with my snow tires. My advice is to avoid chrome.

Mine still look good after 2 years ... I guess I don't plan on keeping my car as long as 5 years anyhow, so that wouldn't matter. Thanks though!
