Yup! Chrome is for Buicks and Harleys. And they're called wheels, not rims. "Rim" refers to the outer edge of the wheel.

I have not seen the 19" wheels on the Q5 but unless they are a polished alloy I will likely have mine chromed. This seems to offend the folks that have responded to my post but I was primarily asking about imbrittlement issues.
