Thanks, it looks nice. I think in the future I will have my rims plated in chrome!

Hmm I've always wanted to put my chrome rims on my dad's silver 7 but that makes me think twice.

yup, that's your car!

I picked Erin up at DAS last week after he dropped it off!

Enjoy it, and be careful!

no offense to anyone but chrome wheels just dont look good in any sports car. I like chrome wheels on a Escalade, a 745I, a Bentlley and so for but not a sports car.
I never understood why mazda would make chrome wheels for some FDs. It makes the car look cheap.

Sorry No Bling Bling for me.

Everyone has their own opinion of what looks nice, and what doesn't. I think the big SUV's look ridiculous with the big chrome wheels.

I have two sets of wheels for my FD. Both are stock factory wheels. One set has been chromed. There is no question in my mind (what little is left of it) that the chrome wheels look better on the car. It's not even close.

Mazda didn't make chrome rims for the FD's. Many dealers sent the stock rims to be chromed to dress up the car. I'm sure the dealers marked up the sticker price significantly to have this done. If you don't believe me, check with your Mazda dealer.

Guys, no offense but the stock chrome wheels just don't look that great on the silver. They look good on the red, black or mb.
Silverflash may be on to something with some aftermarket chrome wheels.

That is a nice car vintage red, sorry you had to sell it. All these cars look great, its hard to mess up an fd unless you rice it up.

Have you seen the 04 Z06 Le Mans edition? it has chrome plated Z06 wheels and they look awesome and go sooo good with the dark blue paint job with champagne top/interior

Chrome looks good, but with certain colors (like black and dk. blue)

After checking prices I might as well just get new rims instead of chroming mine.
