George, I would just wait, and get the others rechromed later, or just go with chrome..!! Just my $.02... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I don't think silver would look good with pewter, in comparison to chrome..

They would look ok, but would that mean your would have two chrome and two silver ten spokes?? Wait and or pay the money to get the right wheels that you want. Don't settle, for something you don't really want. You'll be disappointed.

i personally like the chrome ten spokes over the silver ones. On a pewter car I say definitely get chrome - the metallic paint of your car will make the silver painted wheels look gray and flat.

I prefer the chrome, but that is just my opinion. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
