Trying to decide on these wheels. Your opinion

Carlsson chrome 19'' replicas w/ Nitto NT 555 Extreme ZR 235/35ZR19 91W
Are they worth $1400?

I don't care for chrome. But I like the styling of the first ones better than the second ones.

Does it have to be one or the other? I don't really like either one. Maybe if you post how much you're looking to spend, you can get input from other members about which wheels they would suggest. If you're looking to get replicas, I suggest the Brabus of Taiwan Monoblock VI's. I've heard they can be found new for around $1,500 with tires. PM me for more details.

I'm don't care for chrome anymore, except on my Suzuki. I know someone with these replicas for sale and thought I would get another opinion. My wife likes these better.

Agreed. Throw pewter metallic on that list as well and you're set!
