    I like chrome. Black tends to chip as you take them on and off.

    I'm sure we all rotate our tires etc. Yea not taking them off is not always a option.

    Wheels are in. I love them. Can't wait to put them on the car.

    I think I'm going to go with black lug nuts because the center cap is black with a chrome ring. Not like in the picture in my first post. I also might paint the balance weights that they put inside the wheel black to match and blend in with the I.side of the wheel.

    Here are pics.

    this is 100% the reason why i don't buy/like black wheels. those needed to be 20s to look good.

    They do not look as small as the pic. I think they will look good once on the car and tires are shined up

    Yes, 20's would have been better but I didn't want 20's

    I honestly didnt think that they looked small. Its always harder to tell with nothing to see it by to compare to. And having that silver lip is better than having a solid black wheel that blends in with the tire.

    I'm not. They put them on the inside. They are silver and can be seen. I just want to paint them black to blend in.

    Not bad. Make sure you get the smaller lug nuts. Over time the barrels get scratched and the paint comes off. It's a lessons learned from owning black wheels.

    I already have small spline lug nuts so no scratching. Plus I put electrical tape around the socket.

    I also ordered center cap overlays from Matt. Ships out tomorrow.
