The chrome wheel option for 2008 is the only wheel on the list that's a carry over from the current (2005-2007) wheel style...which makes me happy because it keeps the (stock) wheels that we all have now somewhat current.

As noted, the chrome option for 2008 uses the 2005-2007 wheel design chromed.

Have a look at the right slide of the image below. This is from the Engineering presentation. You can just make out the image and wording about the QX3 Chrome aluminum wheel still available.

Looks like the Chrome Wheels are the same. I'm glad because I really like them.
