A little out of place, I thought. Originally I wanted chrome but when I saw it on a silver car at the dealer I decided it wasn't a good look. The matte finish wheels just seem to GO better with the silver color.

Agree with Iceman. I also considered chrome on my silver gs but realized that non chrome is the best look.

Yuck. Put a gold kit on while you're at it.

Seriously, the thin chrome trim strips look fine, but wheels are wierd/too much. Not recommended.

Chrome wheels are a no-no, but chrome emblems seem to match better than gold emblems on a silver metallic finish.

There's no doubt about that, but I think the black pearl emblems were MADE for the silver car. Gold tends to only look good on green or maybe the gold (but I haven't seen gold on gold before!)...

I agree with a lot of the people on here. I don't like chrome wheels on a silver GS. I think the 17" silver wheels look great on silver GS.

I agree with you there. I've seen a Silver Metallic with Black Pearl emblems, and it looked really nice...better than with the chrome emblems.
