The stock ones look a million times better than the chrome dubs. Leave it for 300c's.

the chrome ones don't flow well because they're too shiny and too much space between the spokes. the stockies look better because there's less space between the spokes.

the stockies with powdercoat would look good. black flows really well with red.

if you don't wanna spend much. you can plastidip your wheels. they'll be matte black.

The "stock" 5 double spoke triple plated chromes are bad ***...they look especially good on darker colored vehicles.
