Default To chrome or not to chrome

I have an '04 RX330. It is Flint Mica with Black interior and the Black Pearl Badges. I was initially going to buy a set of 20" Chrome, but I am worried about the ride quality on those long trips. So, now I am deciding if I want to do factory 18" chrome or the Black Polish. I have the plain ol' 18" right now. Anyways, I found a company on EBay that does the triple plating for $600 with a one year warrenty, and they have a good rating. I am just worried that the chrome will look out of place on the set-up I have. Any thoughts? Black Finish Stock, 20" Chrome, or Factory Chrome?

I personally would not chrome it as I like satin silver. Your rx would look bling blingin...

That looks pretty cool!! Now if I could only figure out a way to ship them my wheels without the downtime for the car. Nothing is ever easy.
