High quality polished aluminium looks almost exactly like chrome, costs loads less and weighs a lot less too. Actual chrome wheels weigh a ton.

As posted, you don't want chrome on your car...Well, assuming you bought a sports car for it's origin. You're better off going polished or SBC. Looks a LOT like chrome.

SBC (Special Brilliant Coating) shines exactly like chrome rims. It looks like chrome.

would the 18" stock tires fit these 19" polished aluminum/chrome wheels?

Oh yea no problem. You'll need some tools though to modify the stock 18" wheels though....







Be sure to let the caulking set up before you put air in the tires.... ;P
