Is it possible to chrome the stock wheels? I know that some FD's out there come with chromed wheels stock, but they're very rare. I'm getting an FD soon and I won't be spending 3gs on new wheels anytime soon, so I was wondering if i could chrome the stock ones.

 

you can chrome dip just about anything but it adds weight, y not polish?

 

You can always powder coat them, too. SOme people have powder coated them gunmetal and black and it looks VERY nice.

 

The one's one my GF's car were polished. They're a frickin pain in the **** to clean and keep looking nice.

 

Mine are chromed......I like em!

I don't see very many stock chromed rims, but I didn't know how rare they were.

They were on a 1993 VR Base Model that I bought when it came off a lease.

 

why chrome them? i would rather powder coat them a different color!

Aren't the normal ones already powdercoated? I'm planning on getting a black or silver FD, and look wise just drop it with clear corners, then spend the rest of my money on other stuff. I've seen several chromed ones and it makes the stock FD look 10x's more attractive than it already does.

The rims on my 99' GST are the stock chromed ones, they look MUCH better than the normal wheels. For some reason stock chromed rims don't look ricey, while any other aftermarket rims look hella RICEY if they're chromed....weirdd

 

When I bought my car the stock rims were chromed, wanna trade. British racing green and chrome don't mix.

 

I'll trade ya.

 

Well i'm not gonna sell my current car and buy an FD till late summer...damn this is like once in a rare chance somebody would wanna trade in a situation like this, i wish i had an rx7 =*(

Thanks for the offer anyways

That's very interseting tha someone wants to trade rims. Lol...cause it will prolly cost you just as much to ship them to each other than it is to powdercoat them. Well maybe half the cost ...but hey I tried.

 

how much does it cost to powder coat rims and does anyone have pics of how the gunmetal powder-coated rims look? thanks

 

You know what, I'm not really a fan of chrome, but that looks pretty damn good.

 

Yo Jeff, $80 a rim right down the street from me. That's sandblasted, powder coated and clear coated.

 

Yeah, I would say that polihsing is the best way to go.

 

my rims are chromed stock rims and they get a shitload of comments and looks at school or just driving around
