Chrome looks good on dark colours. You just have to find a nice set that look good and not too over the top.

Not my cuppa tea but each to their own. After all you modify your car for you :)

I would use the term, refined - a refined set of chrome wheels looks great on a late model car but over-the-top chrome is better suited to a more classic vehicle.

Forget the rice factor, at least until you find yourslef down at Autobahn slapping a set of neon windscreen washers on the counter...!!! :lol:

My advice....

No dramas, if you like chrome, get chrome, if you like any colour, get any colour, just dont get the stinking HSV rims that come with VY series 1 clubbys that are near impossible to clean all the crap out of the nooks and crannys.. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Now that I have had my whinge..I feel better now.

If you drive an XW/XY/HT/HQ then chromies will look awesome.

If you drive anything built after Bob Hawke was Prime Minister, get alloys.

IMHO Chromies on a late model car look about as good as VX/VY bodykits on VN's

I've got 18x8 shadow chrome rims on my white VT and it looks good, I dont think straight chrome would go with white but the shadown chrome makes them dark enough to look good, black cars definitely suit some nice shiny shoes :)

thats why i spent time looking for a wheel that looked good and had to be easy to clean. the ones i got were easy to clean, however being 5 spoke can see the inside of the rim also so need to put hand right through the spokes and clean the inside of the rim now as well.
