on the other hand - for the amount you spend on chrome - you can buy a wheel that is lightweight and more durable.
btw - chrome flakes off.
do you want a spokey, yucky, flaky wheel? i dont think so.

ok i would ONLY get chrome or black powder coat
this is funny. I KNOW how everything is pretty much done. my family owns a brass & aluminum foundry, i know all about powder coating, anodizing. etc. and yes I AM A GIRL
i completely understand what you are saying but chrome looks way better than brushed alum.

The correct response was: "Nope, but I have a snake in my pants."

We have a vendor Ron Jon that has some nice chrome rims and I think they look bigger then they actually are. (18s look like 19s)
Here is a link to their wheel gallery: http://ronjonwheels.com/acsedans.html

They are made specifically for Honda/Acura so they'll be a perfect fit. Very high quality rim. RonJon is also a site sponsor.

A couple of members have already ordered rims from Ron Jon and I have heard nothing but good things about their rims. One member ordered the chrome Inspyres for his TSX but is waiting for the spring to put them on.

Dang we sure got a lot of 
ing going on in here.
What up Stefanie...Welcome to the site
We had another member just get some RonJons a couple of days. This is pics of Rmatic's car. Itz pretty sick:
Here's the thread with all of his pics:
https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20503
He got 18s and has not dropped the car yet. The wheel gap looks pretty big. If I were you I would 19s. You'll have a little more tire so it should ride a little better than a 20 but still look hot. 19s are still big.
Check out the Trout Slap Mod-DUH-rator's car. His rims still look pretty big eventhough they're 19s and not 20s.
