Uh-oh, don't let people on this forum hear you ask that. Most of them are anti-chrome when it comes to wheels. LOL! :P

But I was once a lover of chrome (still am :oops: and don't care what others think :D), and had it on my MY05 GT.

This will give you an idea with a set of 19's.

And before someone has a chance to make a derogatory comment, "Screw you chrome haters!" :yes2:

Hey Jim if you love chrome so much why do you have black rims? :?

New car, new direction. Thought I would try out non-chrome to see how they looked. Actually I was going to carry over those rims to the MY07 but the wife made me sell them. :P But I actually like the design/style of the Advans so I kept them.

I did enquire with Phat about bringing out a set of chrome Advans as well, but it was too pricey at the time.

That's it in my previous post with the 19's. :P But nothing fancy at all. I didn't know Phat back then so I was limited to what was available at the time domestically: rims, lowering springs, and tint. Those were happy times when my wallet was nice and fat. After meeting Phat, my wallet's paper thin now. :D

nothing wrong with the chromies (depending wether you get decent looking ones or not ?) if they suit the car i reckon it adds a touch of class !! but alot of people get small cheap looking chromies and make the car look worse then what it was standard.

I agree! Surely no one can hate the Connoisseur's in chrome?

Unfortunately there's a rather large queue and you'd have to fight people to the death for it.
