Chrome just isn't my style. You shoulda left the rims you had on there. Car looks clean though.

They look good! All you need to do now is clean up your car and the whole thing will SHINE! haha

But for me, I think chrome rims will look better if you have some chrome parts on your car like handles and window trim. But I still like black colored or gunmetal colored rims, but thats just me.

Those rims were a decent choice. You chose a nice size, I'm guessing 18", and didn't go for the insane 20" rims, and then have no meat on the tires. Just hit the car with McGuire's, or ICE after a good wash and she'll shine on.

Honestly, I don't really like chrome rims on sedans. Aftermarket racing rims are a much better option.

All of what you just mentioned is coming. I'm unemployed as of right now. I'm going slowly but I'll get there. The car was dirty when I took the picture. I wased it this evening and it is now raining AGAIN. Just for tonight though. Then it will get detailed tomorrow.

The tires look good. The rims are a little ghetto, but too each his own.

Nice, mounting wheels that have no tires.
Should have saved the cash and put it towards fixing that dent in the fender.

I haven't bought them yet. Just was checking fitment. I don't like the way they fit on the front. I may try to find the front in a 7.5 and a higher offset to sit in in more and just use the 8.5s on the back.
