chrome wheels, do we like ?

I hired this car last year and thought at the time that the chrome wheels were too bling and I didnt like them, having thought about it for a year, i really like them now, and wish i had them, what do we think in europe ? do we like them or not ?

I don't think chrome wheels in that size suit the car, they look too small.

I just bought a 300C this past week and was surprized that the 18 inchers on the US 300C are plastic coated. No big deal but I guess if I nail a curb they are shot.

You can buy them from the Chrysler dealer for £280 each (2005 prices) but I think they look better as 20" versions as shown in the original 300C brochure. Unfortunately I understand the 20" never made it to production. However I think the SRT-D alloys are a good substitute; no prices yet on aftermarket fitting.

Here in South Lincolnshire just a standard C is a bit much for the country dwellers, Think they would sprain a neck muscle if the car eased by on Chrome rimz too!
Personally, I like polished alloy, but not chromed.

I don't mind the chrome look but they are to small and the style is too 'busy' - now a nice clean design on 20" mmmhhh...

I'd like some "chromed" Monostar IV's. I did try to buy my old set off GH and get them refinished and chromed, but they weren't interested - said they had to go to back to Germany.
There aren't many after market chrome wheels out there that I like, that why I think the Monostar's would look pretty cool.

UK winter -vs- chrome rims...

Sunshine, warm weather and a clean car seems to make chrome wheels look much, much nicer!! (IMHO)

Heres pics of my 300SS on tri-chrome 22s... I took em off when I arrived here in the UK a few months ago --- may put 'em back on when "summer" get here....
