chrome 179s

Greetings. Has anyone seen any chromed or polished 179, two piece OEM wheels? Might be an expensive mistake to have mine done, just to watch it flake off in a year or so. Thanks everybody.

not if you triple plate them in chrome, abeit it would be really heavy afterwards, but it will not flake off unless you go the cheap route of vacuum process in which its like sprayed on chrome!!! I think it would look nice, but there are much cheaper routes if you want a chrome rim

Thx for quick response. I had chrome OZs on last M3 and liked em. Looks like I'm in minority. Guess it's painted silver. Oh, and KkSc, thanks for letting me know those are black Breytons. I thought it was brake dust! (kidding)

why do people think chrome is heavy?? If anything, it only adds at most 2 pounds per wheel........
