Ok i'm still torn between chrome or Blacking out my rims? Please help me decide.

Chrome - Bling Bling :'(

Black - Can't really see the definition in the rims, but looks more sporty. <_<

Eurocarfan - I know you provided details to a place in San jo that can black these babies out. Can you provide that information again?



HELP
Well my opinion: your car looks hot now and i would leave it since i love sporty cars
BTW: love this pic

My Ride: 2004 BMW 525i with Leon Hardiritt Kloster Wheels 19x9 on Bridgestone Potenza RE-750 (245/35/19) and 19x10 (275/30/19). Premium package with no NAV, no BT, no Xenons.

I like those wheels as is. But I agree - black with polished lips - that's a hot combo on a black car.

I think chrome with your type of wheels (5-spokes) looks good and doesn't give the bling-factor. I have the Leon Hardiritt Kloster (chrome with similar look as yours) and get lots of compliments.

It really depends on the chrome wheel design. But either way, your car looks good to me.
