To Chrome or Not To Chrome

I am in a dilema. I love the wheels tha came on my '07 but I am considering having them chromed. I found a company in Ca that will chrome my wheels for $550.00 I just dont know how it would look. Just looking for opinions.

IMO, dont chrome. I just dont think CHROME works with it unless your planning on going towards a VIP route or something like that, i dunno. See, being from the SF Bay (the YAY area) im used to seeing CHROME on etiher Scrapers, SUV's, or very very bad ricers.

Then again, every person has an opinion and their own taste.

how can they NOT look good , I'd say go for it, factory chromes always look classy to me, & are less problems than aftermarket cheap wheels for sure, unless your going to spend 5g's + on a good 3 piece wheel, that sounds like a good plan

There was a string about this a while back...and nobody had them then. georgec said he had his done...try to pm him. He only posted once though, so not sure how active he is in here.

My vote by the way would be no chrome. I'm not a huge chrome fan though. Positives are that your car is red and the chrome would pop which might look hot. It would be unique because basically nobody has it done. However...you're car is red and creates some uniqueness just in that. I think if it were slate, IP, or black(very common colors) that the chrome might be a nice addition just to be different. Just my 2 cents...

IMO chroming out the stock wheels is a good idea....for some colors. OB is the best color for the chrome OEM wheels....every other color is just ok

Chrome is hit or miss, and IMO most of the time it's a miss. But I'm happy with my gamble. I was the first that I could find to put on chrome M45 wheels....

I must say im not the biggest fan of chrome wheels

but I've seen 18 oem's chromed

imho, they looked great still classy. . .

if you like chrome wheels do it!

I cam close to being a chrome convert. . .
I was just worried about usual chrome worries
such as pitting and what not

red car. . . .i think it'd look good
