Wheels
So I'm thinking of getting new wheels for my GS. The prior owner seems to have lacked any sort of distance perception and the current wheels have enough curb rash to annoy me. I'm thinking of going from the Grey to either Black or Chrome. I'd love black chrome but haven't seen them in the OEM style. I'm not looking for a black vs chrome discussion. I like both. I am wondering where my best bet is to order the wheels from. I know it's been asked a ton but I also know that vendor reputations change over time so I thought I'd check. My tires only have about 1000 miles on them so I will keep them and move the TPMS sensors over from the old wheels.
Thanks for any input!

Another option, if you like your current style wheels, is to have them stripped and black chromed. I have been looking at getting wheels and most places do not stock black chrome wheels. But, they offer plating at an extra charge of $500-800 for the set. Maybe you can talk to one of the vendors that sell wheels to see if they will strip and plate your wheels for you. Depending on where you are, you may be without your car for 2-3 weeks while they are being done. But, in the long run it could be less than buying a new set of wheels and having them coated, or worse settling for something you do not want...
