chroming 19s

i was thinking of getting my rims dipped in chrome. i dont really like chrome but i think my wheels would look tight because they have 5 fat spokes.... nothing complicated. plus i dont think they makes RHEvo C5s in chrome? what you guys think?

The only chrome rims that irritate me are small *** ones. Like less than 16", with curvy spokes (more than 6). those are too tacky for my taste


but your rims in chrome would probably look good


I just wanna throw up over all over when i see these kinda rims on peoples cars

thanx for the pic...... i thought they would look a bit more interesting then that in chrome.

i didnt know if they made the C5s in chrome so i wanted to experiment.... i thought they would look tight. after seeing that pic i'm prolly not gonna do it...... they look a bit too plain in chrome

i was gonna get some new paint next spring/summer.... some type of dark midnight blue with a little flake and i think chrome rims go perfect with that type of paint.

if that does happen with the paint job i will prolly go chrome but if it doesnt i'll keep the wheels the way they are

Do it!!! I was going to do it at one time when I had those same rims. They'll look sick!! But it's your car and if you're not really feeling it, then don't do it. But IMO, I'd do it. Good luck!

it would look nice, but I wouldn't spend $$ on that. I would spend it for something else, your RIM looks hot as it is. Just keep it that way and save up ur $ for something else
