Anyone chrome their OEM 18in Wheels?

Just wondering if anyone had this done. If so, how much did it cost, how long did it take, and can you post pics please?

I see that they go for about $1600 on ebay, so it can't be too expensive to take your OEM wheels and have it done.

Please post your thoughts!

Here is a picture of Randys_G's car when he had chromed the factory wheels. You can probably PM him to find out more info.

Chromed OEMS

Im including a pic of mine. check the galleries for more. The factory cost is $900.

There is a guy on ebay that will trade you your OEM's for chromed oems for $500 (there is an $800 security deposit)

Ill see if I can find him.

I have my OEM wheels chromed and they look hot, especially when theyre spinning. All you can see is the sexy, blinding shine of the wheels. Very hot. I dunno how much they cost. My wheels were factory chromed

The cost can vary wildly. But I know of an Acura dealer in CA that will chrome your wheels for something like $150 each. But then your car would be on jack stands for a few days. The local Acura dealer here said they would charge me $800 each to chrome, which was crazy, since my aftermarket forged rims were less than that.

Maybe you can find an Infiniti dealer that would do the same... (Or find out who that Acura dealer uses to chrome dip the rims) I think it was Cush Acura or Curry Acura or something like that, if you wanted to track it down.
