Chrome but sport!

Here is my dilema. I have a 96 GLE so I want to throw on some nice bling blingin' chrome rims. Just for the luxury look. However I'm equally concerned about peformance. I know some of the sportier rims are usually alloy and not chrome. While the chromes are usually heavy and anything but light/sporty. Are there some rims that can give me the best of both worlds?

How about gettings polished wheels? Not as blingy as chrome, but shinier than painted.

No offense but chrome rims do'nt give a luxury look, since it's usually the kids with ****ty *** rides that put chromes on their cars to make them look good. Example: moron with a beat up, rusted, 1989 T-BIRD with nothing but nasty rattle in the trunk and 20" chromes. That's what you will bet seen as, except the masterpiece you drive isn't ****ty...

Search for user 97GLES He's got 5 spoke chrome rims and they're one of the few sets of chrome rims I've seen that look nice on the Maxima (not too bling bling)
