Nobody under 45 is allowed to run factory wheels that are chrome.

In chrome, these look like every other horrid Pep Boys wheel.

Dude, we should start a book of quotes

Plating the wheel would not make any difference in performance. If you were to weigh the wheel after plating, I would bet there would not be any significant weight gain. I think black chrome would look interesting.

Hi guys

Regarding the weight...usually +/- 1 lb. vs. the stock painted/powdercoated finish. These are our wheels for sale.

Whew!! Just barley made the cut. I'm 44 and I like chrome.

Since I'm officially in Mid Life Crisis I'm allowed.

I just bought chrome GS450h wheels from LA Wheel. I think they look pretty damn good but I'm smart enough not to post pictures and ask for comments cause I know how you young'ens feel about chrome.
