Hey check this, I got some 18" Revolver Chrome rims from Nippon Racing, I think they are tight, but all my crew is dissing them.. They say chrome is played out, and rather OG'd... I know what they are sayin but these arent "Dubs" these are racing wheels. Not to mention I stay with the game but I always try to be different.. Chrome to me is different just because I have never seen any imports in town with chrome.. Yea that should tell me something, but what about being different? everyone is sporting polished, or gun-metal, black, and white... Post a reply and lets see if Chrome is really that played out... Thanks for the help.... and criticism!! LOL

I, myself personally don't think that chrome rims are played out.I have some seventeens' chrome wheels and it goes good with my car. Don't worry about what everyone thinks, cause if that was the case all import cars would look exactly alike.:D

I don't think its played out, I just think white, gunmetal and silver is the trend now... Its all up to you and what you like. I personally hate chrome... I think it looks cheap. But thats my opinion. Go for what you like :)

got any pics??

they could be nice depending on the style. i just have a bad image of chrome wheels, cause around here all the chrome wheels are those wild ulgy ones that look like they have spikes or swords coming out of them. but like the rims i got(not to jock myself too hard:D ) also come in chrome and they look nice.

Chrome wheels aren't bad, it's the design of a rim that makes it bad. If they are decent looking wheels, then I'd like them...no matter what finish they have on them. If they're ugly, then I wouldn't like them in any color. It all depends on the wheel, so I'll have to say no, chrome wheels are not played out. :)

yeah i agree with kicker1_solo.
its usually the desigh of most chrome rims that i don't like.
which give them a bad name..

played out?
are imports played out..:eek:

I will post some pics after I get off work tonight...

Here is a picture of them, they should be here today or tomorrow... Keep in mind my 97 Accord will be Si Blue, with 5% more flake.. So chrome should look screamin.... Thanks for the boost of confidence guys...

i like chrome wheels aslong as they don't look like fan blads

wags...is that the verdict...a friend of mine has those in hypersilver..its perfect if you like chrome, but dont want the actual thing. its nice looking. for si blue...youd be surprised how much black looks tight, if your into the race aspect. its your thing..hypersilver or chrome will look good.

chrome is too heavy and a bitch to take car of!

i think your moms rims are kinda played out.

I dont think that chrome is playd either, especially on the imports. Nowadays, everyone wants to be a racer, and personally I think that if anything is playd its the racing rim look. Some of us want to have the best of both worlds...i.e...custom tails, kits, jdm parts, and the biggest rims and tires that the car will allow - which brings me to this question: As my log on would imply I have a 93 accord lx sedan and I was wondering if it was possible to throw some 20" rims on my baby. I know that 19's will fit, but 20 is the goal...WILL ANYONE WITH EXPERTISE IN THIS AREA PLEASE REPLY. Thanx

Hmmm.. aren't all 20inch rims width by 10inch plus..

NO it wouldn't work. besides, it would be kinda of hard for your SOHC 110+ hp engine to hall those size rims..

The reason chrome wheels arent as popular as silver ones and what not, is because most people who drive the imports are young, and dont have a lot of money to spend on stuff.

YES. I really hate those rims that look like they're gonna cut up someone's shins when you drive by. Looks like they bought some crap from K-Mart or something. I like that nice quite five/six spoke look. My car doesn't have to scream, "I'm gonna cut a bitch!"

Are you talkin about Daytons? Spinners? Anything with more than 6 spokes?:confused:

Gotta go with what BahamaBlueEX said. Stick to what you like. It's your car. :bigthumb:

Personally, I'm not too keen on chrome myself, but that's my own taste. I've seen some nice rides sporting chrome -- it's just not anything I would prefer on my car. Keep to what makes you happy.

uhhuh, nothing flashy, spinny, or spokey. Personal taste I guess. I don't equate spinning 22s as fast, just with adding needless weight. However.... if it is a show car or something, I can respect that. Just because I don't like it doesn't make it wrong.

Hey, I've had my car over a year, and I'm still rollin on the factory 15's (you know, with those damn scratch-happy lug cover plates) So, if you're up in the air over a nice shiny set of rims, you're still one-up on me. :thefinger

Its OK. The 5gens are pimp without rims!!!! (I still miss my 94:frown: )

yup yup :) :)

Was that in response to my statement? I assume you too are a fan of the 5th gen Accords? I only ask because your post somewhat leads me to believe that you are under the impression that your car is a 5th gen. Not flaming or anything. Just clarifying. That is, if what it says under your avatar is correct.

chrome rims are definately played out... but then again, so is this year old thread...

:werd:

I never looked and saw how old this damn thing was.:bloated:

DOH!! Alright... who resurrected this bitch! :thefinger

Wait a second, with this post, I'm keeping it alive. CURSES!!
:rolleyes:

If you are going for the race look then chrome is not good for them, but if your going for the "all show" look then chrome is a must!!!!

and all 20" rims are not 10" width because my friens has 20" rims on his 92' accord and they are only 20x8.5

my other friend has 20" rims on a 94' accord and those are 20x8, you just have to modify your wheel well!!!

yes i am a fan of 5th gen accords. I am also a fan of rx-7s and evos and a bunch of others. Doesn't mean I own um. And no my car is not a 5th gen, sorry to say. It's a hand-me-down from mommie.

Its cool. My 5th gen was a hand me down from mommy. Well, it was supposed to be, then it got totaled by a jackass behind a snow drift in Chicago winter. But thats a different story:frown:

******I officially postwhored my way from 997 posts to 1000******

Sorry igor!
