eon Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 hi this is my first post, i just got a black 98 gs 300 and im about to buy lowenhart br5's there 20x 8.5 in the front and 20x 9.5 in the back. The only problem is i dont know wether to get them in all chrome or get them powder coated in black w/ the chrome lips as i said before the car is black any one have any opinion on which 1s would look better? so hard to dicide
SW03ES Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 Welcome to the LOC! B) I say chrome, just because I can't get used to dark wheels on cars, they always look dirty and in the need of cleaning. The chrome lips help, but I still say chrome.
JDMGS300 Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 I'VE SEEN A FEW BLACK BMWS AND MERCEDES WITH BLACK 20'S WITH A CHROME LIP AND IT LOOKED REALLY GOOD. I WOULD SAY BE DIFFERENT AND GET THE BLACK ONES. EVERY BODY HAS CHROME!!!!!!!!
GSlover Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Chrome for sure. A black 430 came in to the dealer after tinting, and it had those 7 spoke 17s in chrome on em, and immediatly i dropped to my knees :o and needed a new set of underwear. I want to see pictures when you get em on.
eon Posted January 12, 2004 Author Posted January 12, 2004 omg this is one of the hardest decisions to make i think im gonna have 1 side black and the other chrome on another note how many inches do u think i should drop it to eliminate any gap w/o rubbing if its possible to lower while riding on 20's
SKperformance Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 I perfer a luxury saloon in black to have the chrome lip and black rims it all depends on if you wante everyone to say wow look at that chrome or the real enthusists of cars to say OMG that is soooo slick and stealth.
SpeedyGs Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Luxury car= Chrome rims haha I had 19 Lowenhart 19x8.5 all around and its chrome
LEXUS420 Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 I just ordered mine in chrome before getting them powder coated cause I want to see them on mine first before I have it done. I'm 99% sure I'm going to have them powdercoated, but I figured I take some before and then some after. Mine is blue though, so its up to you. I like to be different also, I say powdercoated. Just make sure they have a deep lip for the chrome. B)
