that would be totally up to your preference and where you are wanting to go with your car. the GGP looks good with any of those in my opinion. but if you are wanting to go for all show and no performance, then get chrome(if that is what you prefer) otherwise the latter will be fine. good luck!

Go with chrome, it will look great. Just not a heavy cast chrome wheel. Depending on the brand, I wouldnt say that chrome compromises performance, it's just not associated with performance.

To take Mr who's suggestion a step further, you could go with a high polished wheel. It is almost as lusterous as chrome, but has no weight penalties. Plus that opens you up to alot of classy wheels, check out this IS with 19" Hi Polished HREs, its a good example, since its a dark color like your car!



BTW you dont have to get mega expensive HREs in order to get a nice polished wheel, you have lots of choices.

Good luck man

I'd go chrome too....it'll look great...plus it'll match the chrome finish from your altezza tailights and headlights.

The answer to this question is pure opinion but every time I see my car in a mirror (like a glass building) I wish I had an anthracite center, like SSR Comps. Of course if I had comps I'd probably wish I had something else
