Default Need Opinion on wheels. Black chrome?

What do you guys think about a Black Chrome wheel on my Graphite Gray GS? Or should i just play it safe and go with the silver with chrome lip?


Here is the wheel im considering... If you dont like the wheel then please tell me also

You should buy a lighter wheel that is a real 3-piece wheel, instead of a lookalike. For that money, you can get a used set of JDM wheels that are usually higher quality than the wheel pictured above.

are NAD's lower quality? i was offered those, but, quickly refused since i never heard of them. doesnt work or some other jdm co make a similar wheel?

EDIT: just saw D2's GB on them and the price and weight. for that price on a 1 pc wheel...imho~keep looking. however, if you must, the black chrome is nice.

What do you not understand about my previous post? Your post is, in no way, beneficial to the OP's question. Please allow me to elaborate. That NAD wheel is a 1-piece wheel designed to look like a 3-piece wheel (fake rivets, etc.). The wheel weighs around 30 pounds (give or take). For what some vendors are asking for them (~$1550), real 3-piece wheels, such as a used set of Work Eurolines (in good condition) can be purchased. In my opinion, considering the factors, such as weight, design, and quality, better wheels can be had for around the same price.

love the black chrome, I would take a side pic of your car and then post this in the PS forum they will be able to do it for you. When it comes time to refinish my wheels I am going to have the centers done in black chrome

Black Chrome is sexyyyyyyyy , now honestly that particular style wheel doesn't appeal to me, I usually like 6 or 7 spoke wheels, If i can find some nice wheels in black chrome I'm gonna jump on 'em. If someone does a photoshop for you post it up, I'm curious to see how they would look on your car ...

I was thinking black chrome would be the bomb too. I have "black pearl" emblems on my ride, I'm thinking black chrome would bring it all out good.

I likes those rims tho, now you are giving me some ideas for my ride.
