Chrome has been around for hundreds of years and will always be the best finish. It's durable, easy to clean and gives the most play. If you change your wheels, people are going to notice. Chrome doesn't always attract more attention because lots of oem wheels are chrome now. Bigger is what attracts the most attention.
The reason why theyre so easy to clean is because you always have to clean them

I think I'm with Lexus Kid; they're not my style and I know I wouldn't put them on my car, but I like them at the same time. Definitely look better in chome than silver and I think they flow well with your car.

Chrome is either a love it or hate it thing and IMO there's alot of gaudy wheels like Lexani's that give chrome a bad name. I love a clean tasteful chrome wheel.

Wheels are nice, has an aggressive stock look. I'd prefer an aftermarket wheel with a lip and dish but this is nice if u want a simple look.

Kyle Harty- Heyy hey leave Lexani's alone lol...they brought to us Asanti's plus my tyres are Lexani's

Alright, I'll give them that! It was just the first thing that popped into my head, I remember a couple of their wheels that were hideously overdone and way too busy from when I was younger! Don't mean to hurt any feelings.

They look very nice. I think the non-chrome ones look better... but then again, im not for chrome handles or pillars either.

Chrome wheels are much much easier to clean than non-chrome ones. Dirt don't stick to chrome as much as non-chrome ones either. Most or all luxury cars are chrome these day. Hey they charge more just to upgrade to chrome wheels.
