Factory 18" Wheel Mods....Paint/Clearcoat or Dark Chrome??

I wonder.....

Is it better to have my wheels painted/clearcoated in the nice MS Ti Dk. gray,or perhaps have the rims dark-chromed like the Mazda OEM that're offered.....

Anyone done a 'mod to facory-silver anodised rims?

chrome would be more expensive but shiner I think, it's a personal preference based on budget and taste.

I personally like the dark chrome. It makes the car stand out more.

Canzoomer has done his rims in blue... I think he has a thread on them in his forum...

I am a big fan of BBS's Diamond Black, which is a Black chrome. You should check that out. I am not sure how it will look on all cars or with the Stock 18s, but the colour of them is definately hot.
