~Whadu Tink of the PIRANA with ADVANs

Chrome look and Chrome rims are different. My RPO3's weigh less than the stock Racing Harts. I don't like most chrome style wheels either but your rims should stand out and be an eye catcher.
 
I agree, mine are less than stocks too but you can't just go out and put any old wheel on your car (chrome or not). It took my forever to find the wheels I have now. I love them and that's all that really matters. There are some ugly non-chrome wheels out there too.

I don't mean to thread jack, I personally think black with polished lip is overdone more than any style wheel out there so don't knock the chrome. It all depends on if you know what you're doing when it comes to picking the right wheel because most people don't.

BTW, not all rappers are associated with chrome.

Well said. It took alot of searching before choosing the RPO3's.
 
those wheels are absolutely awful...i doubt pirana wants to get chrome wheels for his msp...his car is far from ghetto-fabulous...
Awful? Seriously?

I don't agree.


Sorry i should be more constructive. I dont think the designs themselves are awful...well the very first one is debatable. but i hate the chrome. The second wheel is my favorite, it would look really killer in bronze for Piranas ride.

Ah, that makes more sense. It isn't chrome though, its SS, its a lip Petrol came up with. I don't think they are light though...

I love most ADVANS, ADR's, Volk's, Ray's, and SSR's for their light weight, but those Petrol 5 stars would be something else on a silver speed 3..
 
I'm in total agreement with crashkelly. But then again, I think that's because of what area we're from .. Philly.

I hate to say it, but in that neighborhood, chrome is typically reserved for people who do little to their cars -- other than jack it up on some preposterously flashy wheels. When I think of chrome wheels, I think of exactly what HE thinks of: overweight cars/trucks with overweight wheels. Gangsta-wannabes. It's unfortunate, but it's true.

So each their own with their wheels, and with their cars in general. But if you look at the vast majority of true tuner cars out there, you won't see an overwhelming population of heavy chrome wheels. Will you see a lot of polished lips? Damn straight you will. But that is NOT the same as a chrome wheel.

.. Then again, I don't like gold wheels, either. So my post in this thread is generally worthless, LOL.

those wheels are not chrome. those are silver/alloy centers with a polished lip. look closely and the center is more flat than the lip.
 
Chrome this... Chrome that...

My choice, then again, it matches with black, IDK about yellow.
 
was never a fan of gold on yellow.
my choice is either black polished rim(i know it's old but it's still really tight), or gunmetal

the works in l8r's post(#10) would look so friggin crazy I would have to make love to it.
 
Vic, if you decide chrome (man, we are going way off topic heh) i would go with the best out there, HRE :D
