Im looking for some opinions on whether chrome looks good with white. My wheels are done for, the paint is faded and the silver is chipped. Considering some ZR-1's. What do you guys think?

 

Not much of a difference i know but i much prefer brushed aluminum rims with white its a little duller than chome but looks sooo nice

 

Honestly I think factory wheels that are chrome are a bit in person. But still look good.

Z28z has some on his car that is white, maybe try PM'ing him.

 

I've seen some of those 18" IROC wheels that were fully chromed on a black IROC.

They looked like regurgitated diarrhea!!!!!! And that's being nice!!!!!

But that's just my 2¢.

i'd go with the stock chrome..........i've got a pic of a white z with them; im if you want it and i'll look for it. there no different then mine just with a white car obviously.........very nice all the same without going gaudy.

 

ZR-1's



Plus there is the search function in the readers rides. You can be pretty specific over there.....

 

i must be one of the few guys who actually likes the gold-trimmed iroc wheels with white paint.

hope you find what you're looking for.

 

There's a guy around here somewhere that has a white Camaro with chrome ZR1s and red racing stripes. Forgot his name though.

 

I believe on thirdgen resource's web site their project car is a white convert. with chrome Z06 wheels. It doesn't look too bad. I guess it all depends on what type of wheel it is on the car. I would think the ZR1's would look sweet. good luck

 

Everyone has their own opinion on what looks good and what doesn't. I'd prefer to drive my car down the street without blinding squirrels with my rims, but some people like that stuff.

I think polished is the best look.

 

the 2000 C5 Chrome wheels look amazing.

 

Search for the user "Jawzforlife1"

 

Personally I prefer either polished aluminum or a satin finish on wheels for a white car. Chrome only looks good on dark cars.

 

Hears mine, I think they look pretty good but the picture sucks though. I get alot of complements on them.

 

polished wheels are nice as apposed to painted........but they won't get you noticed......

blinding squirrels........haven't thought of that; have seen people cover their eyes or put sunglasses on; but it's only in fun i'm sure.

one things for sure rims can make or break the appearance of your car, if your looking to be subtle go with a stock look....for the rest of us chrome is the only way to go!!

blind away........

Chrome with white you ask.....

 

Chrome with white you ask.....

 

I have chrome Iroc 18s on my white IROC, just go to the search and put in "pics of Iroc111's car"

 

here's mine, C5 chromed..

 

looks nice, although i'd like to see the side angle as i think it would give a better view.

 

Have to love the ZR1's

 

Chrome wheels don't contrast well on white car. It looks weird to me. Polished looks better in my opinion.

 

ok hey i got some questions
now my wheels r the ugly sport ones and i wanna buy torq thrust II's
in the front my disc brake look like rusty, is there paint for them or how much are they to replace?
second what is behind the rear wheels, the big thing looks brown and maybe rusty, is that replacable and how much?
thanks
bub

 

Fellas there is a new "chrome" out its a power coat. looks just as good or evern better also available is black chrome poweder coat ask powder coating shops they should have herd of it by now. looks great...

 

you mean ceramic coat.............

much like everything you see here and the same stuff they use on headers??

if it isn't "highly" machine polished or chrome it isn't shiny.

bubbakutz, it's probably your brake drum...

 

ok, i just bought my wheels today from a car show in Macungie, PA. they are 16x8 American racing hopster. tell me what u guys think
bub

 

that's crazy, i was looking into those, but 17 up front and 18 in the back..........

since those have come out i've already seen 12 different cars at shows with them.

but none with thirdgens so i'd like to see what they look like, post some pics soon!!

 

ok but it will be like a week or so.....i really wanted to get 17's but the prices jumped up like 1/4 of the price

 

ok i just picked up my wheels today i now ill put them on cam this week......here they are

 

which do u like better...lol

 

Dude those are gonna look wicked badass .. i cant wait to see em on.

 

thanks man me either.......

 

those look reall good

 

I agree that chrome or polished wheels look better on a darker car and satin finish or painted look good on lighter cars, but it's your ride make yourself happy....... 1986 Trans Am stock (for now)

 

I know I'm a little late but still want to show you guys that a white car looks good with chrome wheels.

 

Very, very sexy. They should look great on that car.

Can't wait until I can afford a new set of wheels. Now accepting donations.

Being a high school student is hard

 

thank, yeah i think they look pretty damn good.....check them out in the link in my signature for pics of them

 

Z28z-

Man, those look nice!
