Chrome is bad, it doesn't look good, and it makes the rims heavy...

depends very much on the colour & style of your car, 'cause I've seen chrome done well.
and are you including the orgasm-inducing Shadow Chrome in there?

Wheel Chrome or not should (IMO) be a finnishing touch to a car once all other planned work is completed, They do look good on a dark car however but crap on a white car.
Every man and his Honda have Chrome rims and It's now a little too common on cars that have no other modifications which really defeates the purpose. (read rice) the rims in that picture look fine as is.

I have seen some nice chromies too, but some are like a whole plate of chrome, you might as well get some chrome hubcaps it looks the same. Heres an example:

Agreed SMT_007...
I used to dispise cromies but after seeing some off of the commondore bogan cars, they can look quite nice...but to a certain porportion. The second pic above my profile of the chromies that I like to call "Cyclone" are what make cromies look like crap. But there are neat simple ones which can make the car look awsome.
I'm preferring non cromies for my car once I get it either black or gold or white.

I put that they are nice, just because it is all so subjective. It depends on the car, the colour of the car, what has been done to the car etc.

Polished alloy is fine, but chrome should be spelt c r a p!

I guess it depends on the individual and if you want to go for the bling bling look or the i mean business look.
I was giving my bosses daughter a lift on day, she was not blessed with the gift of brains at birth. A pulsar drove past with big 17" chromies she stated,
"You should get those wheels they look like electricity"
Ever since i dont think i could ever put a set of chromies on my car.

These are the rims I wanted, I thought they would've looked good in shadow chrome against my metallic silver paint.
But... Seems they're no longer available in that finish Might have to go for some polished alloy instead.
As for the poll question, it all depends on the car (as others have said). For instance, there is a VK Commodore up the road with the sweetest looking chrome rims, but in the same street there's a Mirage with some of those huge 'Cyclone' rims which just looks wrong...

Every old car needs polished rims. I mean the outer rim too.
As long as the lip is polished then its alright with me. The Spokes can be silver, thats as far off the track as your allowed.

i prefer alloy, but i havent seen shadow chrome yet. i just think that a lot of the chrome wheel designs are too elaborate to be effective- and maybe a mix of chrome and alloy (ala ma61 rims? )
