and lastly
chrome elements nirtogen and lithium 18 x 7.5 40 mm $200 a piece
all prices are my local rim shop, so online prices may differ

i figured since i spending money ill buy something i have always wanted (chrome). Also my car in black with black taillights and window tint, with chrome trim, and soon to be a chrome grill i just think it will match better than silver, gun metal, or alloy. what do you guys prefer. i know chrome rims are heavier is that why yall prefer otherwise heres a better momo pic

I'm a thrill seeker in my
If I may say, most members stay away from chrome wheels because they do not suit the style of our cars. You are on the right track sticking with the five spoke design as it looks great in a variety of styles on our cars. You're looking at a good size of wheel that will leave you with a sick looking stance depending on how much you may lower your car/are lowered.
It's a painstaking process looking for just the right wheel, but with patience and seeking out all options you'll end up with a great wheel/tire combo.
All the best with your search.

Themegalodon pretty much said it all. its painful alright. i don't really like chrome, but like you, i wanted my wheels to match the trim so I went with silver. but patience is the key cuz you really don't want to pick a wheel then have it for a little bit and you like it at first, then you just kinda like it later down the road, then your trying to justify to yourself why you put it on the car in the first place. Search everywhere and don't "settle" for something, pick what YOU like the best. Goodluck man!

Get a gunmetal wheel with a black lip. 
or
Black with black lip
or
Gunmetal
or
Black with red lip
It really depends on the style that you are going for.
Since you have blackedout tails, go with a dark colored wheel.

i don't know why anyone would want chrome, unless they are stuck in the 90's. maybe you could try some dayton wire wheels and put a gold spinner on them...that would look sweet!!
