Default Aftermarket Chromed Wheels

Hello All,

I have the five-spoke 18" wheels on my '06 LS430. It's a black car, so I'm considering a chromed wheel exchange. There are seemingly reputable companies on Ebay that coordinate such an exchange, some with 100% positive feedback. Can anybody refer a specific company?

Have any of you tried this? Is the quality of the chrome comparable to the factory chrome option?

Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

Frank

I would look up local shops and take it there yourself. Typically, this way you are able to negotiate price rather than just go with their asking price. Secondly, you can also see how they finish these wheels and it costs alot less than what Ebay charges. I've seen some of these "Exchange" deals that ebay charges and you can buy yourself a new set of rims for that price, not to mention the insanely high deposit that needs to be given as well.
