Silver CL - Ron Jon Inspyre Chrome or Silver?

Please help me. I have been trying to decide hat to get for a wheel setup. I have my heart set on the inspyres but, I am having an epic battle with myself. I dont know whether to go chrome or silver. Part of me says, slap a little chrome on there and chop away, but the other part says keep it classy with the matching silver. I ran a poll on my local forum and the results stunned me.

http://www.mnsportcompacts.net/forum...0&page=1&pp=25

I was leaning towards chrome but I am soo confused now. What do I do? I value peoples opinions here alot more than my local forum. There are alot of gold chain racers there.

...remember...you can always polish (or chrome) a set of rims, but there is no way to de-chrome your wheels...my personal preference is black chrome (powercoating)...Hope this helps some...

I had both, chrome first then silver. If I were to do it all over again, I would go with Chrome. They just have a better presence than the silver. The silver is very subtle but classy, while the chrome is just attention grabbing, the way the spokes just reflect the light like knives. Look killer when cleaned and the tires have dressing. check out the vehicle gallery section, you can see both setups on my car:

Its not up to us, its up to you. Which ever one you prefer, get it. Its your car, you have to live with it. Either one is a great choice, but you will find the general consensus on this board likes more subtle, classy mods.

Chrome!

I had a GSR Integra, went with silver wheels. Wish I had bought chrome. This time around it'll be chrome. My dad bought an SC 430. At the dealer they had two identical cars side by side, chrome vs. no chrome. The schrome looks much sharper. It grabs the light, looks good. Go for chrome.

just for the record, you will always wonder what it would be like if you had gone the other route. I would be willing to sell 2 chrome and 2 silver, I actually had it that way for a while and came to a few meets liek that. now that would solve the problem.

I personally would go alloy, but that doesn't mean you have to.

These are such beautiful and classy wheels, chrome could not look rice. RonJons two pictures surprised me - the chrome really does look good with the silver.

Most important of all, it sounds like, in your heart, you really want the chromes. So forget everybody else, get what you really want! It's your car, man!

I mean, it's not like you're putting on spinning dubs!
