Getting new wheels, opinions
#12
Personally, with a "brighter" coloured vehicle, I like the high contrast of a dark rim... Vise versa if you have a dark coloured ride, like a dark blue or black, then chrome is nice. I had a Silver Cavalier with "gun metal" rims, I find it made it look richer.
So with my logic: 2 and 4 are my picks I like 4 more than 2, but ultimately, your decision Luis.

I personally like the first one and third one.

Based on past experience, I'd say stay away from high polished Chrome, as it tends to deteriorate a lot faster than a machined wheel will. I actually run my current machined wheels year round in Iowa, subjecting them to road salt and grime, and they clean up just fine. Compared to the chrome ones that were on an H2 I used to drive, there is no comparison - chrome was starting to pit after a year... Call me lazy, but I don't want to have to switch wheels depending on weather.

It's all taste lol... we could pick your rims for you and you don't like them... Just go with your gut, you'll be happier in the end.
