Negative:
'I couldn't do it to my Mercedes, happy your fiance likes them.'
'Glad you got what you liked. Not my taste.'
'Not my taste, but your fiance likes them and you win on that alone.'
'I've never liked chrome, but your fiance seems to like them. Good on you.'
etc.

Internet troll expectations:
'That's whack! I don't know anyone who would like chrome.'
'I'd never do that to my car, makes it look ghetto.'
'Nope. Ugly. Sorry.'
'Could only go worse if you got spinners.'
etc.



Listen. I'm glad everyone has their opinions and their own taste in what they appreciate. I'm asking for a little maturity in your negative opinions as this was a gift for the woman I love. It has given her a new appreciation for a car we purchased 4 years ago, and she hated the split-spoke OEM rims that came with the car.
So, if your life sucks to the point that you cannot congratulate others on what they appreciate, regardless if it suits your taste, you can and begin your own thread about hating (in this case particularly) chrome rims with a lip.
Do what you want. Just sayin'...

Glad the lady likes it. Honestly I don't know what kind of rim would go onto a lux car that doesn't make it look "ghetto" or VIPed out. Even $8k Asantis would probably be viewed as ghetto even though it costs more than most make in a month. Forged rims look kind of strange on them as well IMO.
