|  I can't make up my mind  I currently have 15 inch SI wheels wrapped in goodyear eagle tires (thats what were on the car when i bought it) they also have some small scratches in them from the guy before me curbing them a few times..basically only on one wheel and small scratch's. Anyway, I was thinking about buying some 16 or 17 inch chrome wheels with tires because i wouldnt care that my car would lose traction on take off. and Yes, i have read the other stufff about wheel size vs traction and ability of agility...err yeah.. I just like the appeal of chrome wheels on cars. the few scratches on the wheels just bug me...i guess....they are a little deep and it makes me mad when i clean them seeing the indentions... |

| Ive noticed a lot more chrome on tuner cars this year. does anyone else notice this? I went to a local car club meet last saturday and there wasnt too many civics, more like evo's, wrx, rx7's a couple s2000's and I remember seeing some chrome on a bunch of them... On a civic or integra or something along that line I wouldnt. If it were like a truck, or cadillac or somethin I would. Chrome is heavy stuff too. I have polished aluminum wheels on my truck, which shines like chrome when you polish them and is like half the weight.

| Lol, I had that idea a while back. It would piss people off so much, because it would reflect so much light @ night and on the highway that you'd blind people  |
