Chrome look or stock wheels

I have the opportunity to purchase the OEM 15 spoke chrome wheels to replace my stock 10 spoke. I would only use these wheels during non snow season. Would this be a good choice/look or should I stick to my stock wheels? Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

The wheels are off a 2008 TL and mine is a 2007. I have never seen them on a TL but is that because as a dealer option they were sooooo expensive (about $2000)? They are called "chrome look 15 spoke aluminum alloy wheels" on the Acura website and were an option for 2007-08. For cheap money why not?

Most of the time chrome is ugly but if it is done right it can look good.

I'm hoping the "chrome look" is simply a polished look that will look great. I'm looking at all options without having to go crazy. Interesting that these wheels were an option but no one has ever seen them on a TL. Has anyone seen 15 spoke OEM 17" wheels?
