They will look like chromed plastic hub caps. Its definitely not worth it IMO.
Find a set of SE2 multispokes and get them chromed, they look badass.

I think they are very unique and look pretty good too

chrome+hubcaps=tacky....I think chrome hubcaps that almost every car around here that think they are cool because they are chrome just make the car look tacky,plus stock hubcaps look better in silver anyways plus they have a bigger lip so that it makes the hubcaps look bigger,you buy the chrome ones its gonna look smaller on the wheels,i bought some 5 spoke silver hubcaps and they looked smaller plus they cracked so i pictched them out.

There is silver wheel paint you can buy(i think Cmnky did this) and paint your hubcaps with this paint and it has a better shine and metallic look to them then the stock silver that they came in.Im prolly gonna look into it myself,not like rims,gonna expect chips and what not,just gotta put a few layers on.

Yeah, but thats why I said they would look like chromed hubcaps. Because IMO they really would look like crummy chromed hubcaps if he got them chromed.
I wasn't much of a fan for the new style oem wheels.

Yeah by your post I know you understand they aren't hubcaps, but I think a few others are a bit confused.

chrome = yeuuch. also, chrome = heavy.
the aesthetic is my opinion, but the weight is reality.
