Small amounts of chrome (like around the dish) is good. Lots of chrome (like dinner plate size is bad).
Also be aware that once you add chrome wheels, you will need to polish them most times that you wash the car depending on your usage.

At the end of the day it's your car so you get what you want in the way of rims.
But IMO a BIG NO to Chrome!

I was just thinking the same thing. It would not take a lot to do.

Yeah chrome is good as long as it ain't dish, then it gets bad real quick.

Youd love my wheels then
The only wheels i would change mine for would be a nice set of 245 GTR rims, they look damned hot but i would need to sink some money into widening my fenders n other stuff so stocko painted matte black rims it is for me unti that day

I got sick of suggesting offsets - people just don't seem to bother with it as long as the rim itself looks good...
But I do agree on the 'more offset' - just kept it to myself for the reason stated

Lower offset. You mean.
