Well, I love chrome and especially on a black car. It's the best finish imo. It's durable, easy to clean and care for and provides the most visual effect. If we didn't care about visual effect we wouldn't spend the extra coin for aftermarket wheels.
Looks great!

THANKS, I need to re-adjust. At it lowest setting it does rub when hitting a dip in the road. For the first time doing this i actually thought it would come out all wrong, minor adjustments is all thats left. This web-site is good for learning as well. Thanks All !!
