Default Need opinions !! Should i chrome my hp evo rims ??

i am running a set of nice 18x8.5 hp evos up front and 19x10 in the back with a big lip, but i am getting board of them and I am thinking of selling them or sending them off to get chromed . the chrome company is charging me like 900 to have them chromed with a warranty. Here is a pic of my car let me know what you guys think i should do and if you think chrome hp evos would look good.

No. I still think chrome doesn't look good on sports/muscle cars. Especially if you put it on a mesh wheel. Also, at $900 you're dangerously approaching the cost of new chrome evo's. Better off selling yours & buying chrome evo's if that's what you want.

i would powdercoat them black before even thinking about chrome! It would match your black decals, and adding the CETA bumper mod would look awesome

black center with a chrome lip would look pretty sick I think.

I agree with powdercoating black. That would look sick. But your car looks good just the way it sits.
