Default chrome TT2 question

well im kinda looking at the 18x8 and 18x10 chrome tt2 at tomzwheels, but i have a question. What exactly is chrome and polished on the rim? are the spokes chrome and the lip polished or just the centers chrome? The only thing i dont like about the deal is the small rim in the front

thanks

well when i bought mine i had the choice of chrome or polished, im sure its one or the other, mine are all polished, which are alot cheaper, just more upkeep, but when the car isn't hybernating i usually wash it 4 times a week anyways (damn black cars). i would get th 18x11's in the back though, im running 17x11's

then dont buy them, you'll regret it later. that deal is cheap, but if you go to a local wheel shop you should be able to get them to beat that price, i payed 1300 for wheels, tires, lugs, etc. have you thought about gunmetal torque thrust?

I am running the sizes you mentioned (18x8 and 18x10) and I really like the sizes actually. I would have only preferred a 9" wide in the front but it's not a big deal. These were a huge improvement over the stock 16's and 50 series tires I was running stock.

For your info, the centers and spokes are chrome and the lip (hoop) is polished. Much easier upkeep even though I rarely drive the car and never travel in bad weather. I'm very happy with my combo but if you don't like it then def. get what you want. You will regret it in the end.

well the 18s in TT2s are beautiful rims and i had polished rims before and it never once crossed my mind to get them again until they came out with the chrome ones, thats when i was like "ok this is awesome"... what tire did you put in the back? Im pretty sure a 295 can fit but does it look good? your car looks really great with those wheels

thanks for the compliments. I am running a 295/35 rear tire and I really like how it looks.

This is one of the closer shots of the rear end to see the tire.
