Hi you all. I talked to my nephew tonight. He will help this neophyte computer person this weekend take and post pictures. At least I'm able to figure out how to work most of the sub-systems on my IS. Ha! Although I must say that a couple of times I've been a bit perplexed with the nav system. 'Course I can always just get out an Auto Club map!! Or never go anywhere new.

Default thanks...

hey, thanks for posting that. I hope that's the ones- they're the same style as the stock ones, just in chrome. With it being darkish, I can't really tell about those. Thanks abunch.

Hey poley1,
Those are actually the spyder wheels in chrome finish. The stock wheels also look good in chrome. I don't have a pic of it though.

Finally my nephew came and helped get a picture. Here it is with the chrome wheels. Late in the afternoon and not the best, but better than nuttin'. This is the side with the tires mounted backwards. Check the post where I shared the problem.

Lexustom - Good looking, thanks for coming through! Can you get your nephew to post from a couple more different angles; esp. the side? TIA

I'll try it myself!! Ha! I think I have it down but will have to do it in a couple days. He's a good teacher and even tho I'm a techno peasant I think I can make it work. We'll see. I know what you mean about different angles. Middle of next week and I'll have a go at it.

Lexustom - Thanks.

My rims haven't got as dirty since I started waxing them.

How transparents are those chrome wheels compared to regular ones in terms of brake dust? Is there still a considerable amount of dust residue on chromes; are the wheels easy/easier to keep clean w/chrome on the rims?
