Down with the chromes. To me, chromed wheels just look cheap. Leave it as is. When people see the two tone difference it'll stand out as being expensive and gorgeous wheels.

because they are not chrome. So there are only a few people that actually appreciate the current look. I personally like them...but I feel they are missing that eye catching "look"...I dunno. I just want my car too stand out at car shows I guess.

My wheel shop sends it back to get refinished from the company and sends it to one of their shops to get chromed/polished. My wheels will be visiting both.

I've been through it...never chrome again.
