Ti Wheels, Neo Chro?

I've been looking for rims now for a long while, and came across some Ti wheels, with a Neo Chro lip and i think they look pretty cool.
Anyone ever have any experience with them?
Examples:
Ti Wheels

I was thinking about them last night, and then started to think if there was a way to make the chrome on the sedan into that Neo Chro material. Idk how it would look or if it is even possible. I just thought that the chrome handles and window trim, with the neo chro lip may look kind of weird. Especially because I wanna the blacked out look, I thought that if it were possible it would give me a little originality.

Thanks,
Alex

What colour is your car?

I personally think it looks terrible, some cars can pull it off but it's usually coupes.

It will be original, since very few people get them but there are better option for sedans.

What your wheel budget?

I have a black G35x.
My budget is a max of only 2 grand for wheels and tires. That's why I'm having such a hard time finding something that'll do the car justice. haha
I'm just worried, I'll end up with rims I don't like, and don't look good.
Do you have any suggestions?

Everyone's taste is very different.

I like either black wheels with chrome/polished lips. OR Completely brushed wheels in a gun metal colour.

Maybe check the market place you might be able to pick up some wheels with rubber for way less than buying new.

Just remember your wheels and tires have to be the same diameter or your AWD will go nuts.

Yea. I have been looking on the marketplace, seems like even there everything cost way to much. I've been looking everywhere. haha
The only wheels I found so far, in my range, that I actually like are Stern St-7 in Hyper Black.
But then again I'm worried bout cheap wheels, like everyone says.

keep in mind its imitation titanium and not the real thing. Would you want the imitation brembo brake covers? Of course not. I do kind of like that lip color though, hard decisions
