VR RX8 + Chrome
Just got my new OEM style "bright" chrome wheels put on my VR8 so I figured I'd share them with the group. I really like the OEM wheels but i'm a sucker for chrome. I think they came out great!

Did you have your wheels chromed or did you just buy those like that?Looks nice tho.The paint is already coming off my stock rims and I only have 5k on the car.

1). They send me the stock wheels that have been chromed (triple plated).
2). I have them put on at the shop w/existing rubber.
3). I send back my wheels to them in same packaging with prepaid UPS labels.

Any recommendation on a painting kit? or is it easier to just buy some aftermarket calipers?
Also, I see you've got the Tom Tom navigation. I've got the same kit except I use a Tungsten T3... much cheaper than buying NAV from the factory, and I can use it with whatever vehicle i'd like. One problem though, sometimes I have an issue where it won't pick up the GPS signal unless I do a soft reboot on the T3. Have you had any problems like that?

How much = $550 + $180 2-way S/H (CA to VA) = $730
