Anyone have experience with the PVD Chrome wheels from USWheelExchange?

Those pictures against the blue background do not do justice to the wheels.
Here is a photo that NoNameDFW posted on the roll call of Knights Armor Pearl and chrome wheels.
I don't think any member has posted a photo of the black chrome on the GX 460.

FYI... I had a good conversation with marcus. He presented me with a very interesting opportunity that I wanted to pass on.
Sounds like they have lots of new 4runner wheels - not so much for the GX.
If you guys call USWheel Exchange, and talk to Marcus -- he said they would sell (on exchange) - the chromed version of the 4Runner wheels that fit our GX with Lexus logos on the cap for 395 plus the 180 round trip shipping. Might be something to consider.
I opted to stick with GX wheels - but someone here might really be interested in this. PVD chrome guaranteed for less than 600 bucks shipped... pretty good deal if you like the 4 runner wheel. Of course the trade is for your GX wheels.

I have the PVD chrome exchange...
So far - I am super happy and they are holding up well.
Don't spect 'show chrome' mirror finish. It's good, and plenty shiny, but it's not mirror finish like chrome or polished stainless.
They clean up VERY well. Super easy. Using normal soap.
Don't buy straight off eBay - get ahold of the sales guy, Marcus, and see if he'll make you a deal.
wheels come in boxes... well packaged and wrapped. Have them swapped out, but the originals in the box - and drop off at the fed ex station. done. Refund of the core charge was pretty quick and definitely painless.
You going to try the black chrome????

I've had zero issues with mine. I agree, deal with Marcus the general manager. I also purchased direct. Have your wheels shipped to where they're going to be installed. The boxes are large. Also have them picked up by Fed-Ex where you have them installed. Pay for shipping both ways, they give you their discounted shipping...

Just pulled the triger and bought it. I have spoken with Marcus and worked out a nice deal. Cannot wait for my set to arive.

no deal
the Lexus wheels cost about 480 each wholesale brand new
the 4runner wheels cost about 180 wholesale each brand new.
so the chroming process costs $1200 bucks? and how much more are they charging for the exchange? they are making the $ on this exchange
