I spent a bit more money than I wanted, but it was worth it. The wheels look great on my wife's truck and she's happy.

That ain't no truck..it's an SUV!

She loves bling! What did it cost and I assume it was a 3rd party who did the job?

Should have gone the EBAY or Craigslist route and saved a bundle. But as long as shes happy that's all that matters right... Happy wife happy life!!!

I spent $249.50 and installed them myself in 5 minutes. They look great!

For all 4 wheels? That's a great deal!

Do they go over your stock wheels?

StillLine

They are called chrome wheelskins. They snap on the wheel for a perfect fit and essentially turn your stock wheel into a chrome wheel. I purchased some for the 17" Scion tC wheels I'm running on my car and was so impressed with the look and quality that I immediately conducted an internet search for the same product for the RX. The reason I said they were a little more money than I wanted to spend was that I got the wheelskins for the tC wheels off eBay for a total cost of less than $65 and the wheelskins for the RX were $249.50. Totally worth it though. I'm afraid I'd feel a bit silly if I'd spent the money and hassle switching over to chrome dipped wheels and someone rolled up with the chrome wheelskins and told me they were less than $250 and were installed in the driveway in 5 minutes. They don't look cheap or second-rate in any way. Trust me, if they did, they wouldn't be on my car or the RX. Frankly, the wheelskins are a much less expensive and far easier way to chrome plate your wheels.

Interesting, they look good.

Since youve had them before, how does the original finish of the wheel hold up. Im wondering if dirt gets in between and scratches.

Yes, interesting. They look really good. I'm not a big fan of chrome wheels but I'll keep these in mind as an option if we ever curb a wheel pretty bad.

Somehow it makes the RX look more like a Chevy Equinox with the commonly optional chrome wheels - a little tacky in my estimation, but what do I know, I'm not big on "Bling".

StillLine

I don't have any data regarding how the original wheel finish holds up under the skins since I haven't removed them from either vehicle yet. As mentioned, the skins are ideal if you have a wheel or two with some curb rash or scratches and you're looking for an inexpensive way to make the wheels look brand new. For me, I just wanted chrome wheels and I think they look great!

Darn, I should have waited. Here's the chrome wheel skins for the 19" seven spoke Lexus RX wheels for a much more reasonable price.

$103.20 plus $9.95 shipping

My RX came with actual chrome wheels from the dealer. i didn't even realize you put skins on. That looks good! I actually like the bling on my Obsidian RX350.
