Need opinions! TWS Rockingham wheels

I need opinions on the TWS Rockingham Wheels. I have a wdp 07 tl base. I like the look of them, but im not so sure about the chrome finish. What do ya'll think?

Im not a fan of chrome on white colored cars but thats just me. I prefer darker colored rims on lighter colored cars.

I like the style of the wheel, but I'm not a big fan of chrome either. Are there other finishes available?

As an old guy, I'm a big fan of chrome wheels as they are on all our vehicles, but not quite sure of the design until viewed on the car.

Would depend on the size .. I don't mind them .. BUT before you buy see them in person.. I was looking at TSW wheels before I bought my Axis and the pix are decieving .. the recess is no where near the pix unless your getting 10" wide and aggressive offset. Otherwise they were flush.

I personally hate chrome rims. If your car is white (which it appears to be in your photo) I think bronze is an awesome look. I personally have black rims on my charcoal TL.

The TSW site has a pretty good Simulator with the 3rd gen body if you want want to see them on the car. Unless you're simply asking others opinion. My two cents, not a fan, I was looking at tsw Mirabeau. Happy wheel hunting and pick what YOU like!

Those would look good on a Hot Rod or a classic truck of some sort, but not on th TL.

Think chrome looks pretty good, certainly better than black, or a dark color etc, but that's just my opinion.

Thanks for all of your advise and opinions. I've never been a fan of chrome but the only two finishes available are chrome and matte black. I guess I will keep searching!
