Chrome or Alloy wheels.

SentraBoy · Mar 10th, 2003, 12:58 PM

I looking to buy wheels for my burgandy 94 Sentra.
Almost every company this year offers a huge selection of Chrome wheels.

I have hardly seen any chrome wheels on a Sentra especially a burgandy one. Do think they will look right or out of place?

or should I just stick with the grey alloy wheels?

The wheels I like are the KMC Spawn...Does anyone know how I can see what my car looks like with these on. I know Tirerack has a program but, they don't sell these wheels.

Well,
You can always get any 4x100 rim out there (non-chrome) and then paint it your desired color. Thats the cheapest way. Or powdercoat them to your taste (more expensive than DIY painting).

I think chrome would look good with the burgandy. I just talked my friend into chrome wheels for her burgandy explorer, and they look good with that color.

Just don't get 22's or something

As far as seeing what they would look like on your car, if you can get a good shot of the wheel by itself, I'm sure there are many on the board that could photoshop them on to a picture of your ride.

I can photoshop you a chrome wheel on your car, just send a pic of the wheel and the car... I would personally get a set of b14 SE-R wheels... the stock ones... my FAVORITE wheels. Just send me a picture.

Hey DryBoy

What's you e-mail?

I'd go with either silver painted or natural machined aluminum rims, not the chrome ones.My favorite is the SE-R 15(but isn't it everyone's?)In my opinion, you also shouldn't go any larger than a 16(maybe a 17)or the car will look silly and be more prone to wheel damage.

chrome is old school.... heavy, bad for suspension, hard to clean...etc... go with alloy

Dynamitega · Mar 17th, 2003, 03:26 AM

chrome is too bling bling for me... I like the more sporty look of alloy, at least I think it looks more sporty!

I think chrome rims look out of place on any small car. Too ghetto for me.
