Chroming Stock wheels

I have a 2008 G37S. It is possible to have the stock wheels chromed, and would it be to expensive to be worth it? I actually like the stock ones, I just want chrome ones.

i suppose it is possible... not sure how much it would cost, but you would be better off putting that money into some aftermarket wheels that are already chrome. i'm sure you could sell you stock wheels for a bit of cash to help offset the cost of aftermarket wheels.

i'm with you on liking the stock wheels, but if they were chrome, i wouldn't like them at all... just my honest opinion.

I know someone with chrome stock wheels. Yes, they are ugly. No, I'm not going to take a picture for you because it's useless space in my phone for something ugly.

I dont really agree with chrome rims but you can get them powdercoated chrome, or black chrome at the very minimum

i think the G37s wheels really make the looks of our cars pop, i think the chrome will make your car look cheap as ****, not to mention all of the extra weight that would be added from getting them chromed....dnt do it bro

If your set on chrome, at least do black chrome.
Chrome stocks will not look right.

Man you guys are harsh. Almost sounds like people are saying no to simply agree with the masses. "We are the Borg, resistance" blah blah blah.

The OP never asked what you guys thought of it, simply if it is possible (yes), and how much it will cost (the eBay recommendation is a good place to look). Y'all don't need to give him the 3rd degree over something that he likes.

OP, if you really like it, then go for it. I see people on this forum give props to other members for their chrome rims, so take their critiques with a grain of salt.
