I have a 545i with standard 18 in rims. it goes back in 2 years and 2 month (Lease End). If I chrome out the rims now i can probably swap with some one that has an e60 when my lease is up. The cost his 600 plus shipping what do you guys think? If no one would swap i dont think the Leasing Company would care but I would not get any money back.

you can just have your wheels chromed. It will probably cost about $400.00 the lease co won't care. Plus if you don't end up giving it back at the end of the lease it won't matter. Just sell it, trade it in, or keep it and any mods you do won't matter.

call a wheel retailer, or Look up a chrome shop. I don't have any refrences in new york, but it is easy to do out here in CA. Just so you know, the brake dust eats chrome, so unless you clean them at least once a week, I would leave them stock. My business partner chromed his about five months ago and they look like S#&*. Better yet put some 19 or 20 inch wheels on it!!!!!!
