Shady 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2009 However there is also some very nice wheels that are highly polished or shiny ( simialr to chrome ) like the Weld Prostar drag wheel I can sorta see your point you say here. BUT, Polished rims are so damn hard to keep shiney & clean. Chromed rims are way more simpler...just wash often and be fine. Polished whole different story.

I have no problems what so ever keeping my wheels clean and shiny , machined face and polished dish, sure if you let them oxidise ( that would take a long time) then youd have trouble but nothing a bit of auto sol and elbow grease cant fix then your back to easy street again Edit: spelling Edited August 10, 2009 by Matty104 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laadeelaa 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2009 Look. You're digging yourself a hole. Best to avoid the conversation of chrome rims on bimmersport. If you keep pushing on it I suggest you take your claims somewhere else... like here. http://allchromedout.com/ I feel chrome rims degrade a car now. Especially BMW's.

JiB 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2009 Who cares what others put on their cars. Oh noes. These chromies sure do degrade this M3 and the 135i next to it.

Driftit 1925 Report post Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) I had chrome wheels on my 180. But they were not your typical mag&turbo kiwi mags. SSR SP1 3 piece. Jap made. There is plenty on nice wheels for the E30s. When it comes to wheels. Size is not everything. Offset is. Edited August 10, 2009 by driftit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M325is 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2009 It is kind of like the TopGear wall where they place the cars at either end in regards to whether they are cool or not. Any car that any footballer has bought is now uncool! Now that chrome is EVERYWHERE and mainly used by certain individuals (anyone who knows me well will know what sort of individuals I am pointing at) Chrome is now uncool.

Shady 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) Im not trying to push that Chromes are mean or gangsta whatever. I was just after opinions. We are all entitled to our own opinions and I accepted your guys & girls op's so accept mine! And yes, having Chromes can make or break the car. And that Torana, I have to admit, looks so wrong with the Chromes - should be Polished. Its a muscle car - not a roller.

antony 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2009 In short... It's not so much the chrome, but the style of wheel that generally come chrome. e.g, look on trade me and see if there are any chromes that would look good any other colour, post on here and i feel that no one will mind (as much). As driftit showed with his 180sx wheels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'd be a braver man than I lol No way! Putting a Rotor in a BMW is a disgrace. OK, I get the point 99% of people on here hate Chromes on BMWs, but a Rotor in a BMW? Thats even lower. Camo? nevermind that...go the Matt! haha And Cutties...ahhh. been there done that. One thing I hated was the constant knocking cos the springs werent captive. And then a month or so later, got a Pinky...not cool anymore. Edited August 12, 2009 by Shady Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
