Default Chromed factory wheels

My factory wheels where chromed (the dealer did it). They look much better than the non-chromed stock IMHO.

Looks good - I've always liked and purchased factory chrome wheels. I only deviated from this once in 1994 with a good looking aftermarket chrome wheel and sure enought a few years later I lost a wheel center and was unable for locate a replacement anywhere. Actually it was the second one that I lost that caused the problem because I had purchased one spare center with the wheels.

Those look good. Is that the touring wheel that you had chromed?

I got mine from www.lawheel.com

They are the original 9 spoke LS SWB factory wheels, not reproduction.

I bought them outright for $1,300.00 or could have exchanged mine for $600.00.

Very happy with their service.

No, those are the 19" 7-spoke wheels for the LS600hL non-Executive version.

Yes, I think they look pretty good chromed too.

Default More details

They are the 19 inchers - the dealer sent them out to be chromed - this car was supposed to be the owner of the dealership's LS600hL - I ended up getting it - they charged me $2000 extra for the chromed wheels. I figured (at the time) the cost was worth it - Sounds like I might have paid too much for that.

I definately wanted chrome wheels - and all the options (aftermarket 19 & 20in wheels) I was looking at would have been at least another $2000 - plus I would have been stuck trying to sell the factory wheels after the fact if I would have gone that route. I like the factory wheels, I just didn't like that they where not chrome - just polished aluminum. This solved it.

Oh well, I'm very happy with them.
