They look really good. So you have a set of the chrome ones and the not chrome ones? Thats awesome. I like the ones that are not chromed a little more. Nice ride BTW.

The Chrome ones are 16x8, they look great on the car, but I really wanted 17's so I got these ones.
The silver ones look great, chrome is a little too flashy.

How about polishing the 17s? Not too flashy but shiny enough to stand out??

Nice! I would leave them as is... I don't think chrome goes too well with thirdgens, it seems to stand out too much.

Yea you need to take some new pics. It's a nice car and I don't think those pics does it any justice.

Probably sell them so that I can buy some tires for the 17's.

Hey Pino91Formula, those look awesome on the car, I can't wait to get some tires for them.

Oh, and I also plan on polishing them as well, my friend has the same set on his 2K WS6 and they look nice and shiney.
