My mom has a Calcite white w204, and shes looking for wheels. She told me she wanted chrome.
Thanks, Chrome wouldn't look bad on white at all, but in my opinion i would prefer black rims on a white w204.

I think chrome may be the only way to go on black. Machined on black looks ok but kinda plain and the "murdered out" look is getting played out as well.

EDIT: Guess it depends heavily on the car and wheel style combo as well tho

Dude don't be so sensitive. I didn't say there was something wrong with chrome, if you look at my picture album you will see I owned a 5 series with aftermarket chrome wheels which I put on it. I was just saying chrome is outdated.

But that is always so much more fun...

But seriously, I am not a big fan of chrome either and was on the fence about getting my wheels due to the "highly polished" aluminum face. I went for it and after having them on the car for a while, appreciate a little more shine than just silver paint or matte, bronze, etc.

If you love em, they are perfect...kinda like women.

Someone has a short fuse. Just joined this month, has a whopping 8 posts and already wants to whoop some a@@ 'cause he's had enough of someone else.

I've asked for everyone to avoid insulting each other when a difference of taste or opinion arises. Threats are an unfortunate step in the wrong direction. Let's get back to talking about cars, and if differences arise, accept them with good grace. Please consider this a first warning to anyone who engages in insults or threatening language, and using similar keystrokes to simulate offensive language is also undesired. Let's not get to the point of suspending or banning members, please!

Funny. Because of this thread, I have been noticing a lot more cars (mainly euro's) with chrome wheels LOL. And based off what I've been noticing it just reaffirms my original opinion. Chrome can look awful if the wheel design does not "match" or "fit" the car. But I've seen 2 BMW's, a MB, and a Lexus on chrome wheels between last night and this morning. All of em looked really nice except one of the BMW's. So I think chrome goes just fine on Euro and Jap cars if the wheel design choice is "right".

Not a fan of chrome it screams look at me look at me, and all you notice is the wheels not the car. A good wheel should compliment the car not detract from the car like a chrome wheels. And just FYI there not Rims there wheels. Rims is street slang for I have no taste. Just my 2 cents, you asked for honest feed back.

Wheels look great. The important thing is if YOU like it. I remember having chrome wheels on my old Trans Am. They're a pain to keep clean :-)
