Don't reeally like it, personally. There's no other chrome on the car, so I don't think it really fits...

Just my $0.02

One quick question.. I know you show your car (and it is probably the nicest FB on the forum) and the car is by no means stock.... So why are you sticking to the bonds of a set of stock wheels? You paid $125 per wheel to have your OEM wheels chromed... When you could have bought a very nice set of Aftermarket wheels that would compliment the style your car is showing.... motor swap, headlight conversion, lowering springs,..ect. No-offence intended just wondering why there aren't a set of lightwieght 5Zigens or something like that showing off the sleek lines of your car.. Even a set of nice mesh wheels... Just curious.

Good question Trevor....

I did struggle with the same dilemma for years..... I always like these rims so I decided to chrome them.......
Depends on how I do this year at the carshows, I will decide then. I may go ahead buy a set of aftermarket wheels.... and you’re right..... a nice set of mesh wheels would look really nice.

I like the wheels (im wanting to maintain a MOSTLY stock apperance on my 85 gsl-se so I may steal this idea someday) but I love those lights. Any info or links to that mod?
