Im on my third set of wheels for my Firehawk..If I would have just saved up I could have got the CCWs I want..

My Vote 18s..You have to buy New tires but it will look soo Much better..Are you selling your original Hawk wheels? If so let me know!

If you already have the factory chrome's on it....I'd pay to have them rechromed....but that's just me....it'd cost about the same as the aftermarkets you're looking at...

Not trying to be a smartass here. I was talking about powdercoating them gold like the gold firehawk wheels. I think it would look good on the black and save you some money. Everyone has there on opinion tho!

Or like he said! I just like the look of a stock firehawk wheel.

thanks guys, but I was told $250 a wheel to get them rechromed. Is that a crazy price? because those rims I was looking at are about 500.

So what did you go with? I have the AR killer chromes and I like them more than I did at first. They grew on me and they're quite different. I get a lot of compliments on them when I'm out cruisin'. I do wish I still had the originals though, sold all four for 200 bucks - d'oh! They were peeling pretty bad though.

They have black/silver center caps which tie in nicely with the scheme of the car, and they look 10x better in person btw. To each their own, but it seems everyone is getting torque thrusts etc these days, so I really wanted something different.
