i agree mate it looks cheap 
there is a lad in plymouth who has an e36 m3 in dakar yellow
with a hard top and he has ruined it by putting cheap looking
chrome alpina reps on it.
i dont know anyone that has said a nice comment about his wheels!
its always the same comments......
"nice car, but shame about his taste in wheels" etc
end of the day mate its your choice

if that's what you want john then go for it. there was a set of triple plated alpinas doing the rounds a year or so ago and a lot of money was being asked for them. they looked mighty fine in the pictures - the thought of them may not work but the pictures certainly did!
it'll cost for decent chrome plating. you'll have to be mr dedicated to keeping them clean too - this is not a small consideration. brake dust is nasty stuff.
