Hi guys, just wondering if you have seen any Vossen rims in all chrome or know if they can be ordered in all Chrome? I am really feeling the VVS084, but i prefer chrome rims on my black GS. I checked there site and only saw Chrome lips with the rims. They are all really hott rims. I know that when you order from Asanti, they will customize the rims if you want, just wondering if anyone has done this with Vossen. Thanks in advance.

^ Just PM them since they are on here and I am sure they can get you a pic and make the rim how you want them to

Thanks guys, a rep emailed me back from Vossen, they said they could chome the 3 piece wheel for me, not sure of how much extra tht would be. Does anyone know of a good brand of rims that does chrome anymore, most good companies out there now just do the chrome lip. I know i can buy the cheaper rims off ebay and discounted warehouse for under $1500 with tires, i guess now i'm looking for quality. The Chrome Katana Destiny's I have on my GS now cause me $1500 with tires, don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with them, just looking to step up my game a little for the GS.

I am amazed that they dont offer chrome. I have a dark blue car and I feel that chrome is the best for my color car.

If you really want a full chrome wheel.. you would have to look into some Vossen Forged wheels... but then at that price range you have many options with many wheel companies $$$$ !

Chrome isn't cheap, thats all I can say. They will probably have to send the faces off to get dipped.

The lips are chromed aren't they??? Or is it just a stainless steel lip.?? I like chrome. I dont think I would go with a wheel if it wasn't offered in chrome.

The 1-piece Vossens have a stainless steel lip. I heard it was good quality stainless though. I see a lot of people buy them then sell them after a while. Not sure why, maybe they're just stepping up their game. The wheels certainly look nice.

I like chrome too but these days, money doesn't necessarily buy the best quality chrome work. I had Maya wheels costing over 4K.....chrome peeled right off in less than 2 years. Others have had problems with high end wheels as well. I've had cheaper 1 piece cast where the chrome lasted forever.

I did have one set of stock Camaro wheels chromed by a shop in Cali, it was an excellent job. I know people who have had wheels chromed at other places and it was crap work. You just never know.

Companies like TSW sell chromed wheels that seem to last but their offsets are not to my liking.

Mikedozz, my recomendation...if you like the Vossens but don't want the finish they sell, panint them to color match the car. That would look nice.

thanks Ice, i have thought about that many times, black spokes and chrome lip. My GS is black, I think I am just hooked on the chrome look, been riding that way since 01, always black cars with chrome wheels, they get crazy looks, especially at night when the car is first washed or on sunny days. I do agree about the wheel quality, I had a set of Chrome Sendels on my Pontiac, those rims lasted me 6 years before I sold them, and the chrome was perfect, never peeled. I guess sometimes you just have to roll the dice. My Chrome Katanas are going on 2 years and the chrome is still perfect as well. I just make sure I take them off around Nov and put them back on in April.

I feel ya. Like I said, I love chrome too. I'm just giving it a break right now.
Stick with Katana's, the chrome seems to be pretty good. Stay away from high end chrome wheels. They don't last.
Good luck.
