Torn between two colors!

I have an Ultramarine FRS and can't decide if I should get the bronze or chrome XXR 527. Please vote it up!

I agree that it usually looks real tacky, but those wheels are usually tacky wheels to begin with no matter what the color/finish is. I think a good "tuner" style wheel in the chrome finish would look real good, especially on a darker colored car.

Plus, there are almost no pics of the twins with chrome wheels, so I could be "different"

Back when I had stock suspension and yellow side markers. I don't have anything directly from the side with sunlight.

I didnt know they were even available in chrome and bronze. XXR website as well as most stores only list Chromium black and gold.

If you were looking at Chromium black I would say go for that but straight up chrome is nasty...

I like bronze. It looks better. However, you get what you like.

Bronze.

There's a BIG difference between SBC from Enkei and straight chrome.
