Hey dude, sharp looking wheels! I must agree with the other guys in that the bra kinda ruins it for me too, but maybe you should consider getting "clear guard" or some other protective film that is barely noticeable once applied correctly and according to the threads here, people say they like it a lot and it really protects your car from rock chips etc.

Another question for you. How long did it take that wheel company to "dip" your stock wheels in chrome? I don't have spare tires/wheels so I would have to get something cheap that would fit instead of having the car on cinder-blocks. I guess you have an extra set of wheels? or did you just prop your car up somehow while your rims were getting chromed?

thanks!

hi, if you read all the posts here i explained a couple of time but i'll do it again. they send you the rims for 650 plus shipping plus $900 core charge til you send your rims into them so your car is not on blocks for two weeks or more .***exchange program***

I wonder if they do the rims in "black chrome" for my Ti 8?

Methinks I need to call and ask,but I'd bet that they do.
