I like chrome wheels with silver but then, like chrome wheels on all cars. Polished alminum looks nice too

What do you think if this, it has reddish color in it to match the cabernet interior , just not a fan of the black.

Honestly not many wheels beat the stock F-sport on the Nebula Grey imo. I also think Chrome is so obnoxiously american it makes me want to puke.

Ehh I'm just pulling your leg. Just about anything gunmetal from vossen, iss forged, vorsteiner, rohana, etc will look pretty decent. Stay classy my friend.

What sort of wheels were you looking for? Were you looking to go with 19 or 20 inch wheels? Chrome seems to be harder to find now-a-days. The current trend is to paint wheels so they appear to be finished with a matte primer. Polished wheels give a similar appearance to chrome but the metal is polished directly then, typically, the bare metal covered in a clear coat to protect the finish. Chrome has a more mirror-like finish than a polished surface as it is not a porous, however

I encountered chromed OEM F Sport wheels on eBay while I was searching for wheels for my vehicle. Those might be an interesting option.

This to me is another option, our graphite machined finish b/c you have a nice mix of gray with some silver touches to match window trim/badges/grill




good luck!
Nice! Which wheels do you recommend with white? Just wondering
