Has anyone seen the OE wheels chromed??
 
I just saw a set on ebay and though i'd never pay that much for them, they look REALLY good IMO. I'm a chrome guy though.

maybe black chrome will work.....^^that makes them look cheap.

If I had a choice between the chrome, and the way they come stock, I'd keep them stock. But if you like chrome, then I could see how this makes you :yum:

Chroming OEM wheels = really bad idea

I have seen too many cracked wheels to ever recommend anyone doing this..

Doesn't chrome plating weaken the wheels? Some dealers were chrome plating the stock 350z wheels and it would break at the spokes. I also think Chrome looks kind of cheap, super black coat looks better.

Very, very bad idea on forged wheels.

But hey. They'll be able to find the wreck from a helicopter.

Not a fan of chrome at all. Especially on the OEM Rays.

EVERYONE does black wheels these days... I really don't get it, I mean... it looks like there aren't even any wheels on the car ... just a big hole with a tire there... sort of like that new Dyson fan lol.

No, I would never get them chromed... I thought it looked cool though on a certain color.

I don't think any sport car should have chrome unless your in the DUB shows lol or have a 79 caprise on 26s chromes, thought at the auto show there was a Z with chromes but not these. I think Nissan has another set that are chrome but still wouldn't get them ugh bad idea=((
