Do as you wish, your money. However, chrome does not look good on this car! Period.

All you have to do is look at the previous pick. If photo shop can't convince you then I don't know what will. Just my 2 cents, I hate to see you throw away good money. Remember the proper wheels and stance help make the car. IMO, I think these other guys postings are on the right track.

I would agree. Just a shade darker then the paint of the car. This will add contrast. You are beating yourself up over something you already have.

Invest in suspension upgrades to get the car at a proper ride height.

You must be made of money, lol. You are going to purcahse another set now, just to change in the future to another set? Expensive hobby.

I'm just trying to get you to slow down and think this thing through.

Well...

Not to be impersonnal here but, from your own comment, is money the issue?

Wheels DEFINETELY make or brake the car. I'm with Roger here.

You might want to (slow down) save up a bit and get the good ones on the first shot instead of going halfway and regretting it everytime you look at your car, not to mention the wasted dough...

Hey, btw. Who 'shopped the door handles out??? This is no street rod scene!
Put 'em back on!!!
