Default Best Chrome Wheels

My current aftermarket chrome wheels are starting to show signs of corrosion and pitting, and I'm starting to brainstorm ideas for new wheels. Anyone have suggestions on nice looking aftermarket or OE wheels? Thank you for your help! Lex

Even though I know there's tons of debate on the issue, I got TONS of compliments on the TRD Chrome 18" wheels that came with my runflats. I will still use my TRD's with winter tires after some TLC soon. They are now discontinued but you can find them out there or a similar design. About a month ago, there was an ebay auction with a whole set for $1k, brand new, unused. http://www.ebay.com/itm/18x8-TRD-VIP...-/141231885741

If U are happy driving with them, consider powder coating?

That's the easiest and cheapest fix!

Those TRD's are beautiful. They seem they will be hard to find though. I'm considering all options, but my preference is a five spoke design that is easy to clean. I know there are lots of posts, but I cannot seem to find an area on this forum with good suggestions and pics??

These? http://www.getyourwheels.com/view-wh...i-morro-chrome

There are made Lexus hub-centric, so they meet all offset specs, come in 18" to 20" and use your OEM wheel nuts. GetYourWheels is a CL vendor.

What do you all think about these wheels? Not too expensive and look similar to the TRDs.

Link to wheel on Amazon.com

LexBrett, what do you think of this wheel? Pretty snazzy and word on the street is that it will improve your 0-60 time. Couldn't resist. GS



PS - FWIW, I really like this wheel.

These are same like my 20" Enkei (see in my profile). I am willing to trade for factory wheels.
