Lots of wheels look nice but for me, nothing better than chrome. As others have said, clean chrome on a sunny day...nothing else like it. For silver or white cars I like silver wheels but chrome for all the other colors.

IMO, it's nice, but too flashy. i'd floss some black centers with chrome/polished lips instead. give it a more VIP look.
Hey thats my ride
I think the chrome sets off the black
THE MAYA RT5 IN CHROME LOOK amazing
its not too much... thats my 2 cents
but black wheels with chrome lip also looks good
depends on your taste
who gives **** what poeple think...... its your ride
I get ALOT compliments on those wheels

Nah, I do not like chrome at all. Too much bling, adds weight, and it looks slightly tacky to me on a nice car like the G.

Lol, go for chrome, easy to clean and just sets the car off. I think it just depends on what were talking about when people say tacky chrome. You can a simple rim with chrome and it looks good. Or you can have a bulky rim with a lot going on and it looks like ****! Do what YOU like, Ive learned a lot about modding cars is the past years. Go with your first thought or else you will never be happy!

6969g35, ever since I waw the RT-5 with standard finish on that DG coupe floatin around the internet I fell in love with the RT-5!!! Then I saw yours with chrome and i'll I could do was stare! Well, my Ivory Pearl was ordered and it will be here the first week in april. It always looks different in person, but becasue you can look and them in real life would chrome look just as good on Ivory Pearl or would just the regular stock polish be the best. I have to decide in the next 2 weeks TO CHROME OR NOT TO CHROME!!

Everyone's opinions on Chrome RT-5 on Ivory Pearl please!!!

rocketross, here is one with the silver RT5's



6969 you're right i should just go with what i want and not listen to everyone else. your car does look amazing
but theres on problem

i looked at your car with the chrome RT5's and then i looked at a few others with the silver RT5's and the chrome ones dont really have the sharp look of the silver, you know what im sayin?

SILVER!!!! 10 out of 10 times I would go with chrome if there wasn't a lip but being that there is, the lip gives enough "shininess". The silver w/chrome lip gives it a luxury/sport classy look without getting to ricey or blingy! That pic made me want to trade my black for white and go and get those rims!!!
