I am not a fan of chrome rims at all. So I don't really like them.

only rappers in Escalades should roll with chrome rims.

^ word

Chrome was in a few years back .. Even I admit I had some chromies :)

those chrome rims i personally dont like, but chrome just adds style to most any wheel. you guys are trippin. chrome rims on a black car, off the hook

like everything but the gold on the center cap

I love chrome wheels, but I've learned that silver looks much better on a Civic and a Civic is gonna be mad slower with some heavy chrome rims.

Bling Bling:silly:

Damn, that's so beautiful (sigh)

ouch tell me how you really feel... lol. its ok i love the way my car looks and thats what its about. Ill post some pics once i get them

yeah chrome rims are heavier, but if you throw a 16 inch heavy chrome rim on a civic, you wont lose any power as oppose throwing a 17 inch racing rim on a civic, you will lose power.

so exactly why are they heavier again? maybe you could explain why?

Chrome is not what makes the wheel heavier. It is the thick spokes on a lot of chrome wheels that makes them heavy. I called a ton of manufacturers trying to find the difference in weight between a silver wheel and a chrome wheel of the same design and size and they all said the same thing. The difference is so small that it is not worth mentioning. So if you choose a wheel with a light design it doesn't matter if you have chrome or silver. Of course there are racing rims like Volk and Racing Hart that are lighter but that is because that is what they are designed for. Take an everyday rim that most people will buy and it doesn't make a difference.

your stateing the obvious bro.

Did you know that Mugen made chrome rims? :eek: Yeah, it's true, So do Racing Hart. Oppositely Niche makes very cool looking and very light racing rims.

StereoTyping is Bad.

And, yes... over-generalizing/stereotyping is a bad habit.

Aww geez, I don't do mugen. I don't know what they're called so I can't search. But they're extremely rare and came out a few years ago. I believe they are 5 spoke with very flat and broad spokes.

Rene is a drug dealer because he has chrome rims :flipa:
