I know these are chrome wheels. I try to keep them a little dirty so they look like polished wheels 
But what do you think.
These are 20 inch RPM wheels 8.5 on the front and 10's on the back. I have Kumho's on the back and Nittos on the front.
The bad news, at first I bounced all over the road until the local dealership discovered that I needed the thinnest centering rings you ever saw. After that, smooth as silk.
The good news, I traded them for free with a local dealer who used our stock 138's so they could certify a trade-in that came in with the bling.
What do you think..I'm bent over and my pants are down ready for my beating...
PS. I like them and they grip like you can't imagine. I can hit an onramp curve at 65 where I couldn't hit it more than 45 before without losing grip.

to the forum, as long as you like the look then you are good to go. Stay cool out there in the desert. Happy motoring 
Are you heading to MFest this weekend in Vegas (since you are there already)?

I didn't know non-M's would be welcome. Working Saturday morning, but I'd love to do the Mt Charleston run.

Welcome to the forum! I think the wheels look good even with the chrome. 
Did I just say that? 
Did I just say that? Thanks, you guys are easier on me than I thought. I just couldn't pass them up for free. Now I need to do something about that stock front end.
