OEM Chrome Wheel Exchange
Okay I know I may be a bit in the minority here, but I actually am quite fond of the OEM rims that came on my new NBP/AT TSX. However, I much prefer the look of high polish or chrome. I was thinking about plating the rims, but then I came across this auction on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MakeTrack=true
Anyone ever done anything like this or know anyone who has? I would end up spending about $630 in total with shipping both ways. I don't want to do much in the way of mods to my car as I'm in sales and drive it around 500k to 800k a week. I'm going to lower it a tad and get the OEM Body kit and that's about it other than the window tint and speaker replacement/amp addition I've already done in the first 10 days.
Feedback looks good on this shop so that makes me feel better if I decide to go ahead and do it. Feedback appreciated. Thanks

I know I have thought about that too, but if I don't get the OEM body kit and just lower the car slightly I don't think it will be over the top blingy. I do have to be careful about the perception from my customer base though. Thanks

I couldn't agree more. I have to say I love the look of a Navigator with like 23" chrome spinners... but then again a little white boy wouldn't look too pimp in that car so I'll stick to my ricemobile

I think if you are going to spend money on aftermarket rims, you'd might as well go with something that's a unique design and lighter. OEM wheels are rather heavy. With the chrome on there they will only make it heavier plus you aren't really changing the design... it's technically the same wheels.
They dont look too shabby though. Although IMO i wouldn't spend the money on them.
