hemants: "chrome is for drug dealers
just my opinion"
flacuratls: "your opinion is retarded"
Not a civilized way to respond, he? I would say that's "drug dealer's" kind or response
. Ever wonder why there is no production car in the world - however expensive - with the chrome wheels? That's because design engineers - for the most part - have at least some basic art training and understand what is tasteless. Quite a different story with - but not limited to - drug dealers...

although that ^ may be totally off, its a hell of a lot closer than the bs u said.

FLAAcuraTLS is right, I was wrong.
I should have said "Chrome is for drug dealers, rap singers, and people who look like this :"

ROFLMAO
P.S. The poster ASKED for opinions on the wheels. I wouldn't express my opinion if he had said "hey check out my new rims"

Wrong! There is only thin layer of chrome that doesn't contribute much to the wheel weight. As to being expensive - in production, price difference would be small and for 100k - 500k car it does matter at all - and you still won't find any chrome wheels.

like i said, even if what i said is way off, its a hell of a better reason then the one hemants posted"
Man you guys are too sensitive. It was a joke. But I doubt the TLS would appeal to as wide an audience if it had chrome wheels. The same way that thick gold chains, huge rings, and baggy basketball pants don't :-)

Hey hemants and gregtomash, sorry I didn't reply to this earlier, I just got finished doing a drug buy, but what an absolutely ridiculous statement to make. I have a TL with gold trim and chrome wheels so what does that make me a drug lord? It's easy to say people are being to sensitive when you are the one being insensitive. Look I don't know either of you, nor do you me, so please do not make blanket statements like these. It just sounds ignorant. But far be it for me to judge you two when I don't know you but that is in-fact what you guys are doing to all of us hard-working people who may just even wear a pair of baggy basketball pants every once-in-a-while.

Having never seen my car, one would think you would be intelligent enough to reserve judgement, but who am I to expect intelligence from someone who weould actually write ewwwww?
