Im looking for a chrome finish rim in that type . Why is it so hard to find chrome plated rims ? Everything seems to be polished aluminum :/ Im getting frustrated looking .

If your going to put a Cragar rim on a F-body Go with the SS it looks like that rim. Those rims have there place on a F-body though. Just as long as it was made between 74 and 81.

I've often wondered the same thing, my only conclusion is that the F-body is considered a classic car (in some sense) and polished wheels are real big in the classic category, therfore most are made in a polished look. Or maybe something to do with the manufacturers and making wheels for hot rods? Something along those lines

If you wanted a ricer (non classic car) then you can find bling bling wheels whereever you want.

but i'm in the same boat as you, I want chrome because i've always had chrome and I like the look and ease of cleaning and I will not get a wheel unless its chrome....only wheel right now that I would get that isn't chrome would be CCW 505As....of course any HRE and Fikse wheel as well, but those are $$$$$$$$$

I can not afford to spend 3000 on wheels and tires. 2000 is even pushing it . 1500 is where I would like to be .
