As far as taking risks, lets be clear that I was the first to take the leap. Give a brother some credit over here. The decision to go with this setup was much easier once you saw how mine turned out.



Well a bit of redemption is that my wheels will be at HIN....but on someone else's HOT car.

As for my car, it will take its vengence on another day once its transformation is done. ]

Hey blue, just in case. Don't take jawnthen's post too seriously. It is just more NorCal ribbing.

My rims were all silver - chrome would work too. The wheels are so nicely polished that they look chrome!

A nice problem to have!

well like the others here in norcal have said, we're pretty much all family over here...so this is just a case of sibling(identical twin) rivalry. I don't expect anyone outside of our circle to understand, but we've been jabbing at each other for the last 2 years.

well all I will say now is that we're both HYPED cuz both sets of rims look HOT but yet look so different from one another.

yep, the aluminum in these rims polish up pretty well. Not as good a HRE aluminum but pretty darn good.

Lexism,
If you're looking for pics of there's wheels in chrome, there's a few members out here that posted pics in chrome. CamRen, JacobT, DGOT20s (b4 iForge)...do a search...
