Chrome the stock ACR rims ?

[ledfoot]

O.K. .. I've got the 04 and the 01 side by side, It seems to me the BBS rims would look better chromed...Am I nuts...What do you think ?

Better Chromed!

WOW ! those rims are awsome in crome.... what a beautiful picture.

My .02 leave them stock. Chrome is too much bling and adds weight.

CHROME THEM!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously your car will look like the pic above...The only problem is that you will have a part time job keeping them looking perfect....I had an M3 with split 10 spoke chromes' and It honestly took me 15 minutes to simply get the dust off. But its worth IT!

I think it looks good chromed.....but personally i wouldn't chrome em becuase they are a handful to clean like teh poster above me said and me personally dont like chromed rims too much bling bling.. but ultimitaly its ur choice

Stock, have you checked what they are worth???!

They look fantastic chromed! I chromed the wheels on my ACR, and I'd certainly do it again! Go for it!

Well, since thats my old car in the picture, and I'm the guy who got them chromed, let me tell you right now, the STOCK acr rims where MUCH harder to keep clean then the chrome ones. Think about that, the chrome is a lot harder to stick to, and embed in like paint is (stock ACR rims are painted and cleared).

And add weight ?? hahah.. the ACR rims already are about 8 lbs lighter then stock rims EACH. And the chroming ads AT MOST 1.5 lbs more per rim. How do i know? I weighed them before and after.

Do chrome, looks better, easier to clean, and even when you dont clean them, it takes a LOT more dirt to make them look bad, then stock rims.

My 2 cents.. as a chromer owner.

Like I said.

Forget what the others are talking about in terms of "hard to keep chrome ACR wheels looking clean". PM me if you want some tips on keeping ACR (or any mesh wheel) wheels looking great all the time. In the pic above, my ACR has not been washed in over 3 weeks, and I drive it almost daily.

On a side note...........Even not using the easy method I use, by chroming them, your making the wheel EASIER to keep clean, not the other way around.

In addition, if your that worried about a few pounds. Jon, the previous owner weighed the ACR's before and after chroming. I think he said the difference was 1-2 pounds per wheel.

Chrome them!

[DodgeViper01]

YES YES YES! THEY ARE AWESOME CHROMED!!!

[D.K.]

Damn Jon.......I must have been typing while you posted. LOL! It's a good thing my memory was pretty good about one of your past 1000+ post's that I read in doing my research. My 1-2 pounds was right on!!! whew.....
