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

Just take your rims to the local plating company and have them plate your rims for you. It'll probably only cost around $150.

Thanks

Nope, sorry never been to Boston and don't know much about it. If you're ever in Colorado or California I can give a handfull of places that will plate them for you.

Accoring to MarkCummins over on the W203 Board, MB released a TSB not to chrome OEM wheels because the process weakens them. He had his polished out, and they look real nice. Almost chrome, no chipping, and if you curb them, polish it out! I'm trying to find someone to do mine.
