I think they look aweful. Chrome is too bling against a black car. They look like something that would be added to the vehicle when it is like 10 years old. Shouts tasteless aftermarket / boy racer over and over again.

Sorry

I have mixed emotions on chromies, buy usually I don't care for them. I'd have to see the car in person. But, as far as chrome goes, I think the wheels are nice for the price.

Just a note, The wheels arnt actually chrome(the lip is) but a bright silver paint colour. Also my car is silver Grey. The pics are from the shops site, so not my car. I think they look a lot like Hartge Classics...
