Chrome Plated Type s wheels, What should I do?
I have a dillema. I have 3 2007 tl type-s wheels that are chrome with 70% tread left. Apparently Acura does not sell these factory, so whoever I bought the car from must have had them done. I have a 4th wheel that is the factory gun metal, but has no tread on the 4th tire. What do you think these would be worth? 3 are chrome, 1 is factory.
Here is my scenario:
keep in mind that I have already purchased 4 new stock gun metals to put back on the car, and I do not want the chrome wheels on my car, someone may though:
A.) Try to have the 4th odd wheel chrome plated, and purchase the chrome center cap from acura, and purchase 1 tire and have a full set.
B.) sell them as is
C.) Chrome plate the 4th wheel, buy the center cap, and sell with the one tire still having 0% tread.
Other problem is that the 4th wheel, the not chrome one, has some curb rash that should probably be repaired before the chrome plating.
Can anyone suggest who to do the chrome? is anyone interested the way they are? What money do you think I can pull from these?
I am in Columbus, OH and was just thinking I could maybe sell everything the way it is for like $400 or something, and whoever buys them can do all the plating and save some money. Let me know what you think I should do, here are the pics of the wheels: (not clean)
I appreciate any feedback
Wheel #1 - chrome - tire has 70% tread
Wheel #2 - Chrome - 70% tread
Wheel #3 - Chrome - 70% tread
Wheel #4 - gun metal, curb rashes, needs to be chromed, needs tire, 0% tread
Thanks, and let me know or if anyone would be interested

Chad, why don't you get the 4th one chromed, get new tires and call it good? I almost bought a set from my dealership when I bought my Type S, but too many people said to stick with the OEM's. They look good-especially on black...it's unique. By the way, almost all of your pics either need another lug or the locking lug put on.

Chrome the last wheel and sell them.
Get lugs. I don't thnk riding around on 4 lugs is a very good idea.
