Need your opinion on some wheels Saw some wheels Si wheels the other day at a Honda by my work. Instead of having a matte finish they were sent out to be chrome plated (I believe, salesman didn't know). Do you think these are a viable option? You see any future issues with the appearance of the chrome overtime? They are selling for $225 each. Thanks, Howard |
Re: Need your opinion on some wheels Chrome is tough stuff to take off, I dont think you'll have any problems with it as long as you dont let brake dust build up on it, and you give them a wash every time they need it. But chrome is out of style, and was never in style for a civic. Plus at 900 bucks a set, thats a hosing, you could get much nicer rims for that price. |
Re: Need your opinion on some wheels I looked into chrome plating some motorcycle wheels 8 years ago and was told that they would probably start flaking and looking like ass after 3 or 4 years, so I didn't do it. I don't know if they have improved the technology since then to make it last longer. |

So, I appeciate the comment that I can get better for that amount of money but you can see my dilemma and frustrations as I want to get them before the summer ends to enjoy them for a while before I take them off for the winter.
