View Full Version : Chrome stock 17" Wheels!
Well if you though about painting your rims, think again!
I think its a decent look, there's a lot of area for reflections!

ya, I'm not a huge fan of major chrome. On the plus side..you always know where your GF can find a mirror.
I think it would look good against a dark car.

Too blingy for my tastes. It is neat that they can do that though.

These look OEM (by Mazda) although I'm not sure.

Those pics are not mine and that's not my car. (sorry, maybe I should have mentioned this when I originally posted)
I tend to save pics as I surf and later have no idea where I originally got the pics from.
Isn't that just a Mazda OEM bra?

I personally don't think chrome rims look good on cars, I like them on SUV's though.

in some states and provinces, that is the law...no front tint whatsoever.
have a friend who was driving through alberta with 35% tint on the front... cop pulled him over and made him rip it off before allowing him to continue driving.

I would have got the province to reimburse me. I'm passing through and I'm registered to Ontario. That's insane. Some jerk cop probably.

if it happened to me in alberta, i would claim it was racial and go to the newspapers, fark the money, they piss me off, i piss them off!
and we know alberta has been getting bad racial press these days anyways!
LOL
i dont think that would get to far, but . . it would be an embarassment to the police force at lead to some sort of reprecussion
-----------------------------
question, can they pull of ur tint? they have to get u to do it right?
u can refuse right?

Aren't you exempt from this law regarding tint if your car has an Ontario plate?
We don't have Toronto cops harassing American visitors who don't have a front licence plates.
^^ Exactly what I'm thinking.

I was in Michigan and the law is the same there.. no tint on the sides allowed, but after he saw my registration etc, he said okay.. Alberta cops must be tough..

Man I have to say that that bra looks totally fugly. I cringe every time I see those things.
The machined-look rims look pretty good.
The chrome rims look terrible.
