Why do so many people hate chrome...Its only cool on the Harleys nowodays.

A nice wheel is a nice wheel chromed or not.I prefer the polished/brushed look myself.But if a nice set of chromies came my way id slap those puppies on my car in a second...those qualify as nice chromies.

Why do people hate acid washed jeans? Cause they, much like chrome, are so 80's and so ugly.

That's why.

Sheepish? Cause I don't like chrome? Yeah....maybe you are just a sheep following the chrome lovers herd. Ever thought of that? Everyone's entitled to their opinion.

Step away from the keyboard and get yourself some coffee/spliff...Whos arguing?And i'm certainly not trying to change anyones mind on anything.I just thought its funny how chrome fell out of fashion...or its just for the rappers and homeboys.

Yeah, I actually tried to check out that link, thinking it would be funny. Thanks for a dose of feeling like a dumbass!

When it comes to chrome, I think that it belongs on certain cars - just like wire spoke wheels, BBS mesh, three spoke wheels, etc. I just don't think they belong on a w124. They clash with the car's personality. Certain cars look stupid (the bad kind of stupid, yo) with certain wheels.

It's the same reason that you don't wear dress shoes with shorts. Dress shoes aren't bad, shorts aren't bad, but together - it's just wrong.

Chrome is for Caddies, wire spokes are for lowriders. There's nothing wrong with the cars or the wheels. Mix them up and the results just kinda suck.
