Default anyone ever gotten their "pie plates" wheels chrome painted?

I have an '02 SC and while I am interested in the G-spiders I've seen a few pictures and vids of some SC's that actually look OK with the pie plates. I know some OE G-spiders have that liquid graphite finished and the shinier more expensive ones are chrome finished so were these (like link below) pie plates OE chromed finished or aftermarket painted..so my question is what would be best way to get that shiny look for these already dull-wheels (they seem to look good at night lol).

Best thing I ever did with my SC430 wheels was turn them into $275 cash. I like the G-spider idea, those would look good on a SC430. As for pie plates looking okay, when they had the darker center cap after the 2005 upgrade they look a whole lot better.



You can find these caps on eBay. They should bolt right on to the 2002 wheels with existing hardware. They also come in a chrome finish if I'm not mistaken.
