Go to alsacorp.com and you’ll find the paint for your rim. However,theirs is very expensive. House of Kolors has a chrome effect that probably better meets your needs,I think. Hard to see from your photo,but their chrome effect is a little duller and blacker like your rim.Alsa’s chrome paint looks like chrome when you’re done.I’d actually go with the House of Kolor,now that I’m thinking of it and the fact that it’s a Lexus.I’ve probably painted a thousand acid stained Lexus rims. You might even have to tint it with a little black or back off on the number of coats. Make sure you wait for the clear over your black substrate to cure,I mean really cure. I use Dupont HC2300. Also wait for the chrome paint to cure really really well,too.Longer than you think. If even the slightest amount of gases escape after you’ve chromed and cleared the rim,you’re screwed. Trust me,I’ve been refinishing and painting rims since they came out with the paint,I could do one in my sleep.Also,the bottomline is the quality of the clear you use.Good luck
