Chrome is sick if you can pull it off with certain types of wheels.

In my opinion i think the color of rims depend on the color of the car! the darker colors can get away with chrome, the lighter colors can be cheapened by chrome and can be altered by the darker colored rims. since you have SGM i would go with either brushed aluminum or chrome to bring out the body and the rims on the car, if you go with the darker colored rims that match the color of the vehicle it may all blend together which really doesn't work with vehicles that are not exotically designed or at least large in body size! i think the chrome or brushed aluminum would look nice in either a mesh or a iforged imola style rim! this only my opinion and my personal taste!

actually im abou to contradict my last statement and tell you to visit the SGM IS 350 on the LMSpower.com website, it looks pretty sweet, it has either gunmetal or some color type rims!

SGM needs gunmetal or smoked-color rims like the color of the rims on the 08 IS. My second choice would be black. Chrome is played out.

I would recommend the gunmetal or brushed aluminum finish for your car. They both complement the finish of the car nicely!

Just giving you a hard time nothing personal


PS. I think Brushed aluminum is the best. Chrome works sometime but i feel its much harder to find a good looking chrome wheel than B/A. Same goes for black, really hit or miss. Gun metal volks are sick too.
that benz is auto isn't it?

I think with chrome, it depends on wheel design and the manufacturer also. They are many DUB type brands that make some nasty looking chrome wheels, but there are others that make chrome wheels that look proper for our cars.
