It's fairly unanimous here, the wheels are at least a bit unorthodox, but the chrome trim on the roof?? 
Wouldn't black trim strips look better with the black roof??

I'm liking everything but the rims.
Don't listen to the haters about the other chrome stuff--I like the offset of chrome, adds contrast/distinction from everyone who's doing all one color. Don't get me wrong, I like shadowline, but I don't think it necessarily is the end all be all.
Good work!

Wheels are awful but if you like them then rock it.
BTW- those dual 5 spoke wheels that came on that AW looks good. Thats what my wheels are.
this car looks very good with chrome wheels.

I agree with Alpine White Girl on that last picture. The chrome rims actually look pretty sweet on it. They are able to pull it off because it isn't over done, sometimes you just gotta know when to stop. I really llove the clean look of that car!
Thats a pretty pimp looking house in the background. Hope they didnt have to buy a shack becasue they spent to much on the car
