It's not paint, it's plated on, just like a normal chrome finish.

Great price for a wheel upgrade. Does work very well with dark color cars. It will really look more sleak with a drop in the future good luck!

Yeah, I think I'm going to drop it on Eibachs. Right now I'm saving for so many things that the car isn't a priority (sad huh), but oh well. The drop will come soon enough though, just need to save a few hunred more.

Also, what's a good sized spacer with the stock wheel setup and a drop on eibachs?

That looks very nice! I like the color match. You could smoke out your tails to go for that dark theme.

Yeah, I would have done the tails, but I want to minimize the harassment by the cops....

I'm dropped on Eibach's 350 pro-kit with stock 18's and running 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers.

Pics and details of my setup here.

Also I asked my dealership how much they wanted for a set of G-spiders in black chrome with a trade-in and they quoted me $1800!

holy crap! that's a lot of cash. The g spiders would look sick in black chrome. this place supplies the dealers, so you can probably do a trade in for closer to $800 with them.

Was this at Magnussen Lexus? I had the regular G-spiders at that time and they had the G-spiders in black chrome on display a few months ago and they gave me the same price as you got. What a crazy price.
