looking for chrome OEM WHEELS
I have a 2000 E430 ,I like the OEM Wheels on it (5 slotted I guess it's called) But would like them in chrome. www.aaarims.com has these wheels and allows wheel exchange on them. Has anyone tried them, If not where do you reccomend getting these wheels that allows trade in

Thanks in advance

If that's the case then you could send them to the place that I suggested out here and get it done, but it's not worth it! There has to be more than one shop that chromes wheels out there. Look in the phone book for any metal refinishing shop and ask them if they chrome wheels. I am sure you will find one. Make sure they at least triple plate the wheels so they will last...Good luck...

True that. It starts to get expensive when you really get into all the mods that can be done to our cars. Good luck and have fun!

Driving you crazy? (lol) It should be fun! Some people have used 9" wheels in the front and they fit fine (depending on the offset) but to be safe, I would recommend 8.5" in the front as I have on my 19's. The common offset on your 18's would ET35.

The only problem you may run into would be your tires rubbing on the fenders when you turn, especially in & out of driveways and over bumps. Since the wheels are your friend's, try them on and drive the car. That would be the best way to tell if they will work for you!
