I am on the fence of whether to replace my wheels with some chrome one. Can I see some pics of after market wheels in chrome?

Yeah, sorry man, you won't get much chrome love here. There are a few members that have "tasteful" chrome (if you can call chrome tasteful) rims, but those are very few.

Do as you like, however, you will get little support for chroming anything with this bunch. That's the best case scenerio. After that, it's straight to downright hostility.
