I have no problem with Chrome, just not when they look like that  They look like a FUBAR snow flake!

I am totally into chrome, and show stuff for that matter. But the design of those rims? EVeryone is entitled to their own taste, but if the fashion police ever come through your neighborhood girl you are in big trouble.  Seriously, glad you like them, but for me: Konig Imagine in silver. And 17" is enough for these crappy Michigan roads
Just call me Judge.

Any rim with the words "bling-bling" in the title is something best left to movies and music stars.

Yes, everyone is entitled to their own tastes. I personally would not put daisy rims on my car, but if I had a bug, and they looked good on that, I would =>
One day my wheels will be accepted, by someone who loves and cares about them. => Sorry I'm not into the straight silver 5 spoke design everyone else is into. I like to be different =>

Definately the worst rims seen.

I wouldn't be chroming any 19" wheel. You'll
need all the strength you can get to ward off
the pothole demons, and the chroming process
inherently weakens the wheel. Companies like
Fikse and HRE high-polish their forged multi-
piece wheels for a reason.
I love companies like Arelli. I think I'll
start a wheel company called "Blingelli" and
our naming process for each wheel model will
be to pick a word at random and do some or
all of the following:
* Add the letter "h", "y", or "z" randomly
* Deliberately spell the word incorrectly
* Add annoying suffixes like "a" or "ia"
Permit us to demonstrate our marketing skill:
Random words for wheel names:
Shoe
Delivered
Official
Camera
Flag
Here are the Blingelli wheel names based on
the now vastly improved random words:
Shyoo
Deelyvyred
Offycyl
Chameryia
Fhlyag
As you can see we have now fully adopted the
tried and true Arelli marketing model and we
forsee mad bling-bling in our company future.

I do not hate crome for show cars. I do not like the design of that particular wheel but, I don't drive your car and if you like them great. I am glad that yu have chosen a wheel that you like ... for all of you who have expressed your opinions (most of which are unfavorable) you aren't driving her car and she likes them so back off.
remember what has been said .... opinions are like A**holes, everybody has one and they all stink
