Hey guys, just got my new IS, and I want to put chrome wheels on it.

Im not into the big crazy lookin aftermarket wheels, so Id like to get factory wheels in chrome.

Id rather not get them from my dealer, cause they want an arm and a leg.

Anyone know a good place to get factory chromes? I have the 10 spoke style wheels and would like to stay with that same kind.

I think the best for you will be getting the chrome swap package from fleabay!
I believe dealer chorme wheels are just done by each dealer's private sources... Believe it or not! My opinion only!

$600 + exchange. They provide chromed stock wheels to Lexus dealers.

Well, I sent emails to 3 chrome places that do wheel exchanges. Weird, but very cool idea. We'll see who gets back to me.

Well, so far Ive only gotten a response back from a place called California Chrome. Anyone heard anything good or bad about them? Theyve got the wheel I want right here http://www.calchrome.com/wheels_lexus_is.php Got quoted $600 for and exchange for my wheels. Still waiting to hear from these other guys.

I got my chromed from the dealer, but they got it from some shop in Sacramento, CA. It costs $800 but not much of a big difference considering the mounting and alignment was free (they were fixing my pull to the right
problem). I also think it would be easier to have the dealer
fix any rim problems later on.

Which dealer did you go to, if you dont mind me asking?
