Well I have a bit of curb rash and tired of looking at it. I have the 19 in performance package on my 2006 coupe. I have looked into chroming my stock rims with an exchange option. The total cost to me will be $950 plus tax.

I was wondering if it would be better to get a new set of rims? What is your opinion on this? Did the OEM come chromed? Thanks for your time.

 

No OEM 19's come chromed from the factory, the dealer has them chromed. id say have them painted... Chrome OEM 19's dont look good, well thats just my opinion

 

chrome OEMs is a big NO NO

 

They look good. Let me find some pics..

 

 

I don't like the oem 19's in chrome. I vote new wheels.

 

I'm not a big chrome fan so I'm going to say new wheels or powdercoating...

 

Thanks for the pics REDG35 that helps. Thank you all for your opinions. What do you think of the price to chrome my rims for 950?

 

id say buy my 18" Axis Reverbs w/tires/tpms $900 shipped or B/O


but back on topic
dont chrome your oems

 

i wouldnt pay that

 

Is that $950 price with shipping? Any local DFW companies that do the chrome exchange?

I love the chrome on the OEM Rays, so I went the exchange route locally for about ~$550 awhile back and saved a ton on shipping. Up to your personal tastes in the end, OP.

 

Get a aftermarket set

 

950 sounds steep, have you searched locally?

 

950 is shipped and installed. It's a local company here in Dallas but he exchanges them. I guess he gets them from california. I will search for a better deal since it sounds from u guys this is a bit high

 

what do you guys think of polishing these oem instead of chrome? Maybe just the lip? Also painting the inside of the rim?
