Sorry all. Worked out it was my browser as the bumper photo was repeated on every post I viewed.

Restarted and fixed.

Wow, I never noticed how ugly the wheels look without the black paint...

chrome exchange...

Both brands use the same spoiler

So.... am I the only one liking those wheels more than the stock colours? Think it looks good. Personally not loving the dullness of the factory wheels and was thinking of re-painting them bright silver... now wondering if chrome plating is worth investigating...

Although... some of the cars in the signature might show a slight bias towards chrome ;)

I saw your car in the other thread...it's sexy as is do not chrome the wheels! Painting stock wheels is tacky to me IMO.

I'd be cautious if you're thinking about getting the stockers chromed. Sometimes the chroming process can cause the base metal to get brittle...happened to many SRT-4 wheels back in the day...never heard of any issues with the silver painted wheels, but chromed wheels had a tendency to get hairline cracks around stress points...

This is the truth. Chroming involves heating up the factory wheel, which compromises its integrity and strength.

Thank you for confirming without a doubt in my mind that Ultramarine needs dark (black or grey) wheels. Those look awful.

Chrome, no. High-polish bare aluminum with clear coat... maybe? I could see it looking good.

Good info - thanks - I'll stick with going bright silver then, and keep the chrome for the '59 land yacht :)
