If I get my rims chromed do you think it will look good. I have the stock 16's They come with a 8 year warrenty against fading cracking or peeling. $250 for all four wheels. i've seen this guys work too.

Can he tint the chrome? I've seen whats called "smoke chrome" and "copper chrome" on Harleys...looks amazing!

I would love to get the C7 17's dipped in a Dark Gunmetal chrome... I think that would be hella tight

yeah i could always do a gunmetal dipping. Then I wouldnt need porterfield pads. lol anyone care to photoshop a chrome set or a gunmetal set for me?

If this doesn't scare you off, nothing will:

Buellwinkle has his 16 inchers chromed.

'nuf said?

No, seriously, that'll only add weight. Why do that?

I'd never do that

Tacky! Gold looks much better, just kidding...

I have chrome stock C240 w/ tire for sale $1000 + shipping

I want to see what this looks like for real... any pics????

Chrome looks really bad with a lot of brake dust. And I believe they are a lot of work to keep looking nice. Why not just put the money towards some new wheels instead and sell yours ?

viper: that what I try to do here so I can get some 19"
Enze6997: here is the picture

Because I am cheap and I like washing my car

Timm230boy:

the dealer chromed the stock wheels on my c320 b4 they sold to me, i can post a pix if u want to see.

personally i don't enjoy chrome dat much coz i consider it too flashy.

You probably don't want to chrome your wheels because I've done it but I would do it again and again. I think it really adds something to some color cars like black. If I had a silver car like yours Timmy, I wouldn't do it.

As for brake dust, the chrome, because it's constantly reflecting, you don't see the dust as easily. The 16" wheels are a very light gray and it shows dust very quickly, worse than the 17" c7 wheels.

As for the price, I wish I can get it done for $250. I paid $700 exhanged at the dealer.

could anyone photoshop a gunmetal gray onto the rims?

actually, does anybody know the price for powder coating the stock rims white?
i'd like to powder coat the rims to match the color of the car body.

Wish I could get my C7 rims chromed for US$250, I would do it in a flash. I like chromed rims.

Smoky

Chrome with black laurel centers works on my black 320. I use a non abrasive cleaner/protectant and only need to clean...pure water on a rag followed by a buffing cloth...every 300 miles. Porterfield pads help.

Buelwinkle ... your rims look nice... I think a silver C that is lowered so that they tuck slightly would look very nice... I will post pics when I get everything done.

Sorry, those are rims at the dealer, not mine. Mine are the 16" but I didn't have a picture handy.

OK, Here's my chromed 16".

5-min photoshop attempt (if it's too light or too dark, lemme know so I can adjust):

how bought a little darker please?

Try this one:

that looks SOOOOOOO good
