Post Which Chrome 18 Wheels?

Can I have your opinions on which wheels would look dapper on my Blue GS300SE with chrome grill:

I'm stuck between the T776 and the T778s!

I'm quite set on these but any other suggestions are welcome. And is there any coating I can put on to help keep em clean? Thanks!

Default I'd pass

I've got chromies on mine, but sorry I can't help you on the style I wouldn't pick either one of those for my car...actually wouldn't pick any from the page.

As far as keeping them clean goes...make sure (especially for chrome) they are hosed off really well and the mit/sponge is very wet and sudsy before you wipe down the rims. Then use some Mothers or equivalent Chrome polish, and then a coat of wax will help keep the brakedust from destroying the finish.

Yeah, neither one. Take this to the Wheel/tire forum and they will help you out on what to get.

None.

Only going 18's you have many choices of high quality wheels, in chrome, that won't break the bank.

What are you working with for just wheels, no tires?

I wasn't going to buy from that particular company, I can get them with tyres around $1300. Here's a photoshop pic of what might look like...

IWhat do you all think? Or if you have any other chomes I should consider let me know too....

Thanks everyone I don't mind that no-one liked them, and that someone says they look "Honda" lol

I posted here to get your opinions and that's what I got and I appreciate that thanks guys. I live in the UK so I don't know much about Polos quality etc. I'd have to get them imported from the USA. I'm still undecided and haven't seen any others I like so far besides the Polos.
