Keep the chrome or ditch it for something else?

Hey guys!! I haven't been on this forum in forever. I've been so busy with work and junk, that I've completely ignored cleaning/washing my poor G35 for months!!! I finally gave myself a slap in the face yesterday and realized how beautiful this car was under all that dirt and grime. So I gave her a good clean up. Now to the question, I'm debating on whether I should keep my chrome rims or get something less flashy? I've had them for so long, I feel like I'm getting bored with them.

Here's my baby, all fresh and cleaned.



Here are the rims...well one of 'em at least...

+1 with Calvin.

Get some aftermarket wheels (19" to 20") with some good offsets and rubber and you'd be baller.
