Why doesn't anyone rock chrome???

[I<3mycb7]

I've been a member on this site for a couple of months, and I haven't seen any other cars with crome wheels. I know that the "jdm" look is all the craze and I love the look my self just not for my car. I was reading a thread earlier by a guy(can't remeber his name) that just put 16x8, 0 offset wheels on his car because he said he wanted to do something different. I applaud that. Right now, I am in the process of tucking 20's. I KNOW that all won't like it but........ Sorry for rambling but I just want to basically know what is with the monotony among cb7tuners?????

I'd rock the hell out of either of these CB's with chrome wheels:

For me personally I dont like the look of chrome on our cars.....Not saying it cant look good....but it needs a few supporting mods imo

Another reason would be chrome rims are generally pretty heavy

[TypeG]

chrome isn't heavy, it's the wheels themselves. lol.

mine weight 15lbs a piece.

anyway, most people don't rock chrome because they hate it. spray paint is where it's at, LMAO. later.

Not really chrome, but hella sexy.

I had chrome rims in my 1st car i liked the look But its not a racing look, You can see it in my Cb7 progress thread.

[akeel92ex]

id rock chrome if i cud afford rims lol, but i like type gs set up it was close to the image i hade of mine when i got it back

Cause polished is in?

Maybe like 10 years ago it was the main hot thing.

I'm not knocking TypeG's car at all, it's amazing. But, it's not fair to put his car in ANY class. He could have some dull ass steelies and he's polish the shit out of em and make em look chrome.

God his car is beautiful, by the way

One of the few to look good on EX's:

I have chrome 5th gen V6 wheels, check out my MR. I got bored with them and got a set of Sawblades tho.

To look right, chrome wheels have to be part of an overall design. I don't feel that you can just put chrome wheels, especially big ones, on a car that doesn't flow with the look (customlowz had a look that went well with that)

Plus, chrome HAS to be clean, on a clean car... nothing looks worse than dirty chrome wheels on a dirty, beat up car.



Chrome is good on show cars. Chrome has always been regarded as more show than go... and these days, go is what's in.


Still, I totally support the idea of being different. There are quite a few cars on here that are the exact opposite of what I would choose to do, but the owners made an impressive statement, and a coherent design... and I LOVE what they did (doughboy's spongebob theme... I'd never in a million years want that on my car... but I love it on his!)

^two examples of cars done differently than I would... but cars that I love nonetheless! (just as nice in person, too!)
