Default New Rims/ Re-chrome original

I'm going to be buying new tires for my car, I have the original chrome lexus wheels for my car, and the paint on them is chipping, I was wondering if it'd be more worth it to have the original Lexus rims re-chromed or to just junk them and buy new rims for the car. Any input would be greatly appreciated thank you.

Save the money you would be putting to rechrome and get some G35 or G37 wheels. They're nice.
