I did a search and couldn't locate any info on whether or not anyone has had their OEM wheels dipped in chrome.

I was made aware that the Acura dealership will do the deed for a pretty penny. I got the quote a year ago, when I first started looking for a new ride.

Has anyone had this done to their wheels, either by the dealer or a local shop? If so, please let me know. I would really like to keep my stock wheels, but I would like to spice dress them in chrome. Thanks.

yeah...i know people have...the program most people use i beleive is a chrome exchange...where you send them you good wheels and they send you the sam stock rims that have already been dipped to minimize the turnaround time...if you search im sure you can find a plae to do it...theirs a place on the web called cromefactory i think....thats where my freind had his x5 rims done...jsut wait for someone to chimem in...in the past 6 months a few people have had this done

There is a place on ebay that sells chrome oem wheels. They got a set of TL-S rims in chrome for sale right now.

WOW! Those look great! Thanks for finding them. I think I might need to go ahead and get an early birthday present for myself I will be e-mailing the seller today to negotiate shipping.

Isn't it like $650 at discount tire? Worth giving them a call, if you aleady have TLS rims.

I had mine done!! $700 via Discount Tire chrome exchange program. They look great and very unique since nobody out here in Colorado is really pushin these. This is my car here.

Check this thread for chromed factory wheels, about half way down the page.

I like the way they look! I think I have made up my mind regarding what color to get my calipers painted also. Thanks for the thread referral. I contacted a Chrome Factory here in Maryland, and they said that they would do a trade and have the wheels mounted, rotated, and balanced in one hour of my arrival. $740.00 sounds to be pretty fair. I am going to have them order a spare so I can put it in my trunk where the donut will no longer be. Thanks again for your replies.
