Default Contemplating Chrome....

I have a 2010 SG and I would like a nice, expensive set of chrome wheels, but the problem is the expensive part. I once saw a set of stock wheels where someone either polished or chromed (not sure, was a picture) only the stainless portions of the wheels and left the black alone. I really liked that look and thought it would be a good balance between good looking and budget friendly. Does anyone know how much I should expect to spend on doing something like this?

Also, if anyone has any suggestions on "budget" rim enhancements, please show off some pics and/or give details.

If you are talking about these wheels:

they list for $500 and you should be able to find the internet dealers to give you 20% off that.
