Are those 16's? They look much smaller than stock.

They are 18's infact I am using the same tires off the stock wheels. I wanted something in chrome. Either that or I was going to send my stock wheels to California to have them chromed for $650.00
What would you guys have done, I could probably still do it.

Wow- 650 is a bit high, but considering the dealers charge about 1200-1500 for chomed wheels it's not bad. Have you shopped around for a better chroming or polishing price?

The 400h wheels are already a little unique. They certainly set the car apart from the other million 330's. Tell's you instantly it's something better, and they match the styling of the car perfectly.

You are right about them being unique and I really miss the look. My 18 year old son and girlfriend helped me pick out the chrome wheels that are on it right now. But when my son saw it today for the first time. He said it looked like a Dodge Caravan. That did it, I ordered these and they will be here next Friday

I will post a pic when I get them on the RX

I like the regular stock wheels in chrome better, but thats my opinion , but I think its a big improvement over your current wheels.

Here is another idea for you. Good thing not everyone likes the same wheels or our vehicles would get pretty boring.

Larry, sharp looking wheels. I see you tinted your driver and passenger windown also. Looks a bit darker than mine but all we can go is 50%, I am a bit over that. Well here are my stock wheels chromed. I really do like this look better than the other ones I purchased.

Those are great looking wheels. What brand, type and size are they? They sort of look like the 400h wheels but I assume they're not.

It could be just me, but the gap between the tire and fender is too much. I can't get over it!

I believe those are TSW. I forgot the exact model name, but you can just look them up under TSW wheels and find them.

Hey B, what did you do with the first set of chrome rims? My wife has the same type (Baccaret?), purchased from Discount Tire. Her RX is Millenium Gold and she loves them. I think the 5 spoke rims look far better. But hey i never get to drive the dam thing anyway....
