Default Any pics of chromed out 430 OEM rims?

Hey guys:

I saw one GS on the road once with 430 rims chromed. They looked so hot so I was flipping through the GS photo gallery to see them and didnt manage to find any but also didnt look through the mounds of pictures on there. Anyone have these rims and have pics online that you can point us t or if you do have em on your vehicle but dont have pics up, can you do us a favor and post them badboys up here so we can drool?

Also, for you GS guys, we need some nice nighttime high res pics. There are plenty of the 2nd gen ones but not 3rd. (Desktop wallpaper quality please). Hehe, just for us guys waiting for the 350 to gawk at while we drive crapboxes until its time to buy a GS.

Thanks a lot man, I take a lot of pride in my GS. It is over a year old and it still looks brand new. These pictures were just taken recently within the last month. When I bought my car I covered the entire front end with Venture Clear Bra the day I drove it off the lot and it is still in mint condition today; Doing a partial Clear Bra I felt was not enough since 90% of my driving is one the freeway.
Lowering the car 2" was the perfect match for GS and these wheels, it truly became a totally different looking animal. Both of these mods I feel are a must and highly recommend. This is how they should come off the lot.

The chrome just can't be that much added in weight since these wheels are stock but just plated.
Your probably one of those guys that takes the seats out of your car to make it lighter for racing.

Hey Rap, very nice, how would you describe the ride with your set up compared to stock? I thought the nf's were 1 1/2 drop, while the df's were 3 1/2 drop. Like to know as I'm wanting this set up for my GS300. How'd you get 2"s? thanks YO-G also, thought a heavier wheel gave a smoother and more stable road feel....

The ride is surprisingly good. No rubbing and still quiet and smooth. Yes I have to be more careful going into an inclined driveway and drive slower over speed bumps but I feel it handles better and looks way better. The DF's are a two inch drop, at least that is what the product information says, and I thought the NF's were a 1.2" drop. I know the NF's have more of a stock feel where the DF were more for looks. Either way you can't go wrong, the GS needs to be lowered to look right.

Those chrome rims are sexy, but how much did you invest in them?
