Yes chroming is no problem. The cost is generally $300/wheel at a reputable shop.

There is a place in California that will do "black chrome" which is actually a form of nickle plating that give the black chrome appearance. It's pretty sweet looking. I belive there's at least one black G35c member on this site that has posted pics.

I was quoted a price of $375/wheel for black chrome. Of course pricing assumes that wheels are in good condition.

yeah i was going to say to go with either a black chrome or a dark grey /anthracite color to go with the black. if you get them powder coated that would save some weight.

There are several places I've located across the net that will do a wheel exchange. NO aftermarket wheels.

$550 seems to be a good average price. They send you new chromed OEM infinity wheels, then you get the mounted and ship your OEM back to them. Deposit of $1200 applies, until you ship your back then they back out the charge.

I'm close to pulling the trigger on that deal.

if you have to pay over $1000 you are better off going aftermarket.

I am planning of fixing some curb rash on one wheel and at the same time getting all 4 chromed. Also chrome door handles and grill. It's a red G, what do you think?
