I'm not a chrome fan, but as long as you're happy, I'm happy for you.

I could dig those in a silver/hyper silver color. Very meaty and nice design.

They look similar, but I dont think they're the same, Btturbo.

Stockers are better than your old.
NGTMRE's rims are better than stockers.

I think your right, after a closer look I see the rear one has no deep lip.

I agree the stocks look better than these rims, but I may be biased as I am a big fan of the stockeroos.

I agree the stock rims are good. If they were a bit wider and lower offset they would be perfect.

Yeah, think they were Enki's......told them to take them off and they took 1300 off the car. Tires were awsome though, alot better than stockers. They were some kind of run flats, sticky as hell!

Where did you get the valve stem pressure things... I have Racing Hart 19's on my 8 and the flashing pressure light is killing me... I was going to just swap out the valve stems from the stock rims but they wouldn't work with the racing harts, and I have the stock 18's on my wife's lowered 3, which actually works with her tire pressure sensor thing on the 3.....

I like the stock wheels too. Until I can afford something much lighter I will keep them.

I meant the first car in this thread. Chromed stockies are okay. Not bad.
