Wondered if anyone here chromed theirs and has any photos to show?

PeteJ refurbished his, and they are super polished so look almost chrome like. Don't chrome them though as such, chrome doesn't suit the MR2 at all, not that kinda car

What about Rev4 style wheels in the diamond cut finish? Almost like chrome

Mine's a '96 caribbean blue 10th Anniversary t-top and I know some like the gunmetal wheels, badges etc but I think the wheels always look tarnished even when sparkly clean. Only in certain lights do they look fine to my eyes and I was debating some sort of colour change to give them a lift. Refurbishing in standard alloy colours would just make them the same as every other standard wheel, hence my looking for alternatives.
I could change wheels and tyres to 16s (I always think 17s look too big for the car) and keep the originals for possible resale with the car when she has to eventually go, but in the meantime I'm looking for inspiration or ideas.

Missed your post while I was writing a reply - do you have any photos or links to any so I can see what you mean?

[Pete J]

Mine are rev 4's

[choxaway]

Thanks for the photos. Are they 15s - they look like 16s; maybe an optical illusion. Was it expensive having this finish or is that how they come on Rev4s?

[Pete J]

Just 15's

Rev 4 rims look just like this, maybe a little less shiny.
