They Look Stock

But I think they're custom. Why do they look so dark?

I dunno. Could just be the lighting when the pic was taken, making them look darker.

Yeah, my OEM chrome rims look like that from the right angle (when they're clean) and with the right light.

I remember seeing someone on eBay that would send you a set of dipped chrome factory wheels for $500 and they you would send yours back.

I just looked and didn't find it. Anyone know of a place that still is doing that?
