Default All Chrome 20's....Anyone?

It seems like a lot of people on this site like to go with more tuner style wheels... Does anyone have just a baller Z with some chrome 20's... I'm looking around for wheels for my lemans sunset 03 and i want some big chrome 20's to just set the car off.... Pics?

Or not... There's a difference between a clean set of chrome 20's, and a gaudy set...especially with spinners..

I'm not a big fan of chrome on a sports car, but GTNPU Z's rims are sexilicious! Make sure you get a nice clean set like those if you decide to go with the chrome 20s.

How can you say that a set of 20 inch chrome I-forged wheels look gross? Way better than following the crowd and getting a set of 19 inch volks... way to be original.

hahaha, I would rather have 2 crappy-colored volks than one set of good chromies, classless fools.

Volks are strong, proven, and light. Chromies suck the lettuce(inside joke)

As they say...to each his own.

Hmm? But since you guys love flamin on other's taste, I guess the following cars are considered "classless" for having so called "chromies".










Well...I could post more but I think you get the point. The type of wheels you get depends on personal taste. Some like chrome some don't. Who cares?!? But if someone likes one from the other, don't flame on them for doing so. I personally love my wheels for "street" use. Obviously, I do not use these on the track. I'll slap on my 18s for that. For some reason, a few people flame on others who like 20's or chrome wheels thinking we're going to track them or something (most likely from the performance purists). Reality is...NOT EVERYONE will track their car & will purely purchase wheels on looks. This holds true with personal taste in bodykits as well. Some like them simple & some like them extreme. Not to drag this on any longer...point is, this thread was originally created to get advice on specific wheels. It did not ask for your opinion if it looks good or not nor did it ask what is the good & bad reasons why to get it. So if you have nothing good or helpful to say, go on to the next thread. We are all here cause we love the Z/G & it doesn't matter how one chooses to fix up their car. PERIOD .

Sorry SRT4 to 350Z for taking up space on your thread. Just want to get this thread back on topic.

Thanks ghost11 but my intention is not to make "anyone" feel stupid. This was no way directed towards one particular person. I simply just want to put a stop to all the unnecessary bad mouthing going on.

Keep in mind, going "polished" is a great alternative to chrome. Same great look with less weight! GTN, I would be willing to bet at least one of those images are high polish, not chrome.

I'm sure you're right since mine is "high polished" & not "chromED" but I'm not going to start a debate on this guy's thread on what the difference is between "chromED" & "high polished". They visually look the same. One can easily mistake a car with "high polished" 20s to be "chromed" ones & vice versa. People even refer "chrome" to the "high polished / glass like finish" a metal object has.

Point is, and the purpose of the post above, is to simply state that it is all in ones personal taste...don't flame on people's personal taste unless they ask you to. Especially if a guy is simply trying to get help with what he is looking for. We're all trying to help each other out here & obtain some useful info.

Thanks lebby-pooh. I actually have a 3" lip on the rear. I'll try to post more pics soon. Here's a pic of a 350z with 20" Swifts. I believe he's a member on this board.
