You can actually polish up the stock silver ones. There was a thread on supraforums back in the day telling you how.

Got mine from US Wheel Exchange in MI. 30120 John Rd, Madison Heights, Michigan 48071
http://www.uswheelexchange.com/ They are perfect so far (600miles). They use PVD process. I had two Lexus dealer swear by this PVD process rather than local chrome dipping.

The wheels shipped with chrome cores w/ Lexus logo. I will have more photos once weather breaks and I can clean them up photo ready.

hello passnu2. they were $1,695.00 installed by dealer. they took the stocks off and installed chromes. they sent stocks back to US Wheel Exchange. They key was the chrome cores w/Lexus logo. Not everyone provides the chrome cores.

I paid $1k for the exact same wheel through Lexus. I do have a hook up, not sure if that helped. But to save that kind of money, was well worth it.
