Why would people with chrome rims get flamed? I have just recently chromed the stock 18" wheels and they make the car look amazing.

Both our wheels look sweet.

I think they look good with your car. What kind of setup do you have in the trunk there?

get shorty, those rims looks great. I also think a wee bit of a lowering would be even better. I'm not a big fan of the stocks and changing to after market rims is perhaps the single most simple thing you can do to differentiate your 8 from all the others on the road....well done.
