what are you talking about?, Say no to chrome, what the hell is that? chrome is a metal, when properly treated it looks extremely shiney. And hows it tacky. Just have to watch out for salt, but that is why chrome rims are so much more than normal ones.Id never get painted rims, some look good , but if i can get chrome i would definately go with that.

the nicest SVT i've ever seen was rolling on chrome 19" Kobe Giovanna's and the car looked unbelievable. I think the lack of chrome rims in our bolt pattern has led to some buying chrome rims that really don't match our car. If you were to get the right wheel like a nice set of chrome Racing Harts or Axis rims custom drilled for our pattern, many people's opinion would change.

Now guys and gals,

Here's another question for you. What do you think of the white rims on the green Tour SVT.

I might be putting a new tire and wheel package on mine, but don't know which one might look better.

Help,
DAve

Chrome is quite tacky, IMO. If someone is going to use chrome, please make sure it matches something else that is atleast semi-chromish. I've seen enough (ugly) boy-blunder cars driving around with chrome to make me puke.

Let's all chant together, "No To Chrome! No To Chrome!" :p

If they made something like this in our bolt pattern in a 17" version, it would be on my car right now (Hope this works, 1st try at posting a pic)
