The picture up top was the only official chromed wheel offered by Nissan.

All other chromed ones you see are chromed by a third-party and not offered by Nissan. Even if they are sold on a car from the dealership... dealerships have been known to send them out for chroming.

Yes on the 18 inchers for sure. OEM with aftermarket chrome. I was going to buy a set from them.

Uh uh. The question is why would you buy chrome wheels? This isn't the 1970s.
