chromed OEM's

Colonel Flagg · 04-04-2010, 03:09 PM

I got these for the summer and am keeping the original OEM's for the winter.

OMID INC · 04-04-2010, 03:27 PM

i think that looks pretty cool especially on AW

try to get some pictures from further away.

bunnn · 04-04-2010, 03:33 PM

Are those OEMs too? Or reps of some sort?

I like that!

MMMorish · 04-04-2010, 05:59 PM

Looks pretty good.

Colonel Flagg · 04-04-2010, 08:43 PM

They're the real thing. Stripped then chromed by a shop in LA.

I can live with that then, I would hate for it to be replica chrome that weighs a freaking tonne.

Although, I must say I prefer the OEM high polished silver more.

Everyone has their own tastes...

Me personally I can't stand chrome wheels on anything. :/

Have fun with it.

I don't know. I am not a fan of Chrome on BMW, but it looks very good on Mercedes and Bentley. On BMW I like Black Chrome.

xsilvor · 04-05-2010, 08:11 AM

They aren't my style, but they look like they turned out well. Grats.

Kyoshi71 · 04-05-2010, 08:30 AM

It looks better than I though it would

Alex///M · 04-05-2010, 09:03 AM

While I can't stand chrome wheels in general (there are a few exception) these look like they turned out nicely.

I still prefer the factory finish much more but if you like them then enjoy!

AMOCHOSTO · 04-08-2010, 08:23 AM

Looks quite nice to me.

J08M3 · 04-08-2010, 03:17 PM

Chrome = cheap flashiness

In my opinion.....

pittsy · 04-08-2010, 09:52 PM

not feeling it to much, i feel like chrome is out. and its a pain in the ass to keep clean

SlamMan · 04-09-2010, 12:48 AM

Looks great. The OEM 19" wheels work well in chrome. Congrats on doing something different.

SenorFunkyPants · 04-09-2010, 05:23 AM

Have you a couple of pics from further away...I'm thinking of having my spare set done in something similar or maybe some sort of shadow chrome so it looks a bit like this 997.

PIMP "E" · 04-09-2010, 05:34 AM

if you said they was a high polish everybody would love them. how much havier did they get with the chrome?
