I am with mchtypeS----don't waste your money chroming, save up a bit and buy some new wheels. Aftermarket wheels give your car some distinction and personality.

I saw it the other day and I thought it looked bad.
The surfaces on the wheels are not smooth enough for chrome. I would recommend different wheels.

Approximately how much $$ are we talking here for chrome of 4 stock 17" rims to look good?
BTW it def looks awsome on a black car...

If you plan to keep them on all year and It snows enough, You could risk damaging them. Especially if the chrome was done less than perfect. also Type S rims have a tendency to rub against curbs, so keep that in mind. Alloys can bee polished, maybe you should polish them, Its a little more classy too, just my opinion
