Honestly chrome is played and not my cup of tea. If chrome is what you’re really seeking then maybe the factory chrome that Nissan sells for the Z. Here check this link out. http://www.nissanusa.com/img/vehicle...ome_wheels.jpg. But our cars are meant more for a race car look go with a nice race rim.

Thoughts: Assuming "thoughts" means you are looking for opinions either way, to each his own but IMO chrome 20's do not belong on a this car. No offense intended, it's just not my style and I don't think it really suits the purpose/intent of the car.

I guess its all about what "you" like. I chromed out my 350 and was very happy with the outcome. If anyone else has some thoughts please contribute. Thanks

Matte blacking out everything is played too, but no one has called it yet. Chrome might be coming back around.. ;)

Car trends seem to go in 5-7 year cycles. People should do what they like and not worry about it.

Yup do what you enjoy and find pleasure in. True, history repeats itself. I still say go with oem chrome if you like chrome.

I think chrome is done for a while on sports cars. SUV'S and Trucks you can get away with it. There are just soooooo many color options out there now why go with some old fashion chrome unless your doing a hotrod? Chrome use to be baller status, now 6k dollar lightweight wheels on a car that never sees a track is baller.

Black and chrome is always a win. Go for it.

I got a quote for chroming out the stock wheels (I have the ones that look like 10 spoke). $1k for everything w/ 3 year gar...Cant pass that up. I looked and the new ones off Ebay are selling at $2,500. Only down side is car is Out of Commision for about 1 week.
