Default Chromed 2006 18" Oem Rims

Anyone out there have any pics installed/mounted Chromed OEM 2006 Rims??

I really like them, and would love to see what they look like on the car chromed before i get mine done. Still trying to decide if i should do that, or get aftermarket rims/tires.

Also, what would be the widest tire i could put on the OEM rims..front and back respectively.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I guess it doesn't look HORRIBLE, if you like chrome rims in the first place. Good luck.

Be careful what you put on the car as far as OEM chrome wheels. I have some on my '06 ZR and 3 of them have cracked due to the chroming process used on the OEM wheel by an outside vendor. The only ones (OEM) you should put on there are the ones that come straight from Nissan as chrome wheels. Don't let the dealer send any out to be chromed. The company that chromed mine only had a 12 mo./12K mile warranty. I bought my Z used at 10,300 miles without knowledge of the after-market chroming. Now I'm probably going to have to replace the rims at my cost. BTW, they looked really good on the car.

Now that's not a bad look. Much nicer than chrome.
