In both pics, the car is dirty from a rain the day before. I didn't even clean the new wheels before taking these. But I think it still shows the difference.

Thanks, I just feel the chrome matches the rest of the chrome better on that black color. Some of the other colors, I like the aluminum better. It's a preference thing.

The before pics is very nice but the crome does look better. Mainly because the car is black and the crome does match the rest of the car.

Well, the preference comes from my daily driver, the Lexus belongs to my wife.

agree completely about the chromes matching the emblems and the grille

I got chastized by some for switching from polished graphites, but to me the chromes were MEANT for the Black Onyx

I also think photos in general tend to show better contrast of alloy - where as the chromes seem too reflective, but in person there's no comparison - the chromes SPARKLE!

Harley Davidson is MY FAVORITE Truck. That thing is awesome. Got my pops to test drive a graphite one (supercharged) but he did not bite. What a truck.

Default I thought about it

I thought about it seriously. I am very familiar with the area. Matter of fact, just got back from there a couple months ago.

BUT, to be honest, I am afraid to go. I have fell in love with the Lexus line since buying one. We absolutely love this RX. I also like the GS model as well. I think it's a beautiful body line. I just went and looked at the link, and saw all the confirmed attendees with the pics of their cars. I would get up there and get the itch so bad that I would want to trade my pick em up for a GS400. I can't afford both, and I really need the truck occasionally, plus, I really like the truck. I may change my mind, but if not, I hope you guys all have a great time. Stay out of Harrah's, you WILL leave with lighter pockets...
