Chromed 19" Rims; Your Thoughts

[ChargedUp]

Has anyone seen the post on the Tesla website forum where the owner chromed his 19" rims. Here is the link to the photos http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/
What are your thoughts? Like or no like?

Not for me... but it's a question of taste, and to each his own.

mmmm, no.

A little too bling-y for me.

 

[7racer]

please don't. LOL. Chrome adds weight to the wheels and still are not back in "fashion".
I would vote no.

I like them, but then again, I'a chrome guy. You should have seen my motobike

I think chrome rims would look better on a darker color rather than a lighter one. It might look good on a black car. It looks a little bit classy particularly because the Model S already has some chrome that compliments it. But because the rim becomes so reflective in chrome, it makes it difficult to see its features. I have a pearl white car, so I wouldn't get it for my car. It is a matter of taste, and chrome wheels seem to be less in style. I rarely see them.

Weird. I like it, but wouldn't want it.

nasty

Fugly.

They look good, nice work.

Looks good. Chrome wheels can look sharp on darker color cars.

I'd black Em out, but I like the 21's better anyway

I agree with this. It really flows with the rest of the chrome on the car. I personally would not do it for my car as I am not a chrome guy but it doesn't look bad.

Kinda hard to tell from the photo, but looks sort of like that cheap die cast chrome plated plastic you'd get with toys.

 

[Discoducky]

yucky IMHO

I'm ordering Brown so this will be exactly how my car would look.
Have to say, like nrcooled I'm ambivalent, kinda like it but not enough to change it.

I was thinking the exact same thing: "Look.. Hotwheels!"

With that fine looking wife, chromed wheels are just not needed
