Has anybody had the factory stock RX330 wheels Chromed? ... or is there a factory/dealer who will do this? ...or an exchange program? ...any Pics.?? ...sites, etc. ? Thanks. - PS, don't mind me, I'm currently in a Rail-Less FX with stock 20" Chromies http://www.infinitifx.org/phpBB2/vie...r=asc&start=25

 

ebay has a chrome exchange deal. Just search RX330.

 

Hi FX2RX - i guess you found the picture of my RX back in 2003! because i got the car right at launch in march 03, i couldn't find any oem chromes anywhere. my dealer helped me out and did a chrome exchange by sacrificing their dealer demo rx330 - they got these crazy 18" aftermarket wheels for the demo 330, shipped their oem 18's to get chromed while i drove around on my factory alloys, and then 3 wks later i picked up the newly chromed 18's and gave them back mine (to be chromed for the next customer, and around and around we go...)

now that the 330 has been out for 2+ yrs, there are tons of wheels on ebay, as NeverSatisfied mentioned. i think there is a set for $525 from OEMRIMS on ebay (you might be able to get them cheaper if you call direct). i bought their wheels for an SC430 i got last year that came with factory alloy wheels and the "pie plate" center cap. well, i wanted chrome and i wanted the newer "star" center cap, so i did an exchange with OEMRIMS, plus i saved myself a lot of freight charges by picking up myself (i live in san diego, OEMRIMS in orange county). the wheels were absolutely gorgeous, zero flaws, and warranted against pitting, etc. i don't have before and after pics, but here is a pic of the current wheels on the SC i got from this company. they offer a competitive price (although there appears to be someone selling for $425) and stunning wheels, you won't be disappointed!

hope this helps, and congrats on your upcoming RX400h! (and sorry to post an SC in the RX forum )

 

Yeah I found it, Thanks lexuslover - CHROME works! Now, how do we loose the roof rails? My idea of a Slick RX400h is this combination > Rail-Less, Lowered, Chromies (RX330) Thundercloud grill and a Body Kit. Yeah, that's the Combo that'll work 4 Me! ...and 30 MPG, 268hp, 0-60 in 7.1, 1/4mi in 15.2 too, Let's do it!

 

Love my chromes on my RX330 ... makes the look imho. I think I got them for around $1000 from the dealership and they just do the exchange program I believe.

 

CHROMIES sure do make the look, may we see some pics. please?

 

I don't have a decent one yet, but here's one ...
