Default Chrome X-Package Rims?

Has anyone here had their X-Package rims chromed?
Mind sharing any pics? I'm trying to decide if they're worth chroming or if I should go aftermarket.

Bonus points go to anyone w/ a shot of a Black IS w/ these rims chromed!

looks terrible in my opinion - I am not sure how many bonus points I will get but I know where you can see what you are looking for - go to the lexus website - go to CPO - go to FL - select IS - you will see a gray IS with chromed X package wheels at Wilde in Sarasota - fyi - that car does not have the X package but it has chromed X package wheels - I saw it last week in person - looked awful

My Dealer, Newport Lexus has a few sets chromes and a few sets black chromed. Black Chromed looks ok, but the original graphite look is much nicer IMO.

Thanks for showing me where to find that... It's a little hard to tell by the shot how it *really* looks, but I'm not sure it's for me. I'm not 100% thrilled w/ them as-is, but I havent found any aftermarket I love either.

For other's future reference, here's the shot of a car with chrome x-package rims...

If you get aftermarket wheels and decide to sell your x-package wheels let me know.
