i got the most expensive place i could find to do it (insurance was paying) and it ended up being 100 a rim w/ clearcoat. Ive seen places that will do it for 25 a rim, but stripping whatever is currently on there is extra as is shipping if need be.

That's a not a very accurate statement, performance exhausts and suspensions are for sports cars and but people still put them on civics...

Oh yeah, I love chrome. Dude, you need to get an opinion of your own and not listen to anyone. Your gonna be driving this car, so think about what YOU want.
