Im interested in what you guys think match silver magna TH better in rims. Do you think chromies may not be the best to go far? as darker colour cars with chromies seem to look really good. But if anyway seen silver with chromies and still think it looks sick thats what i want to go for :)

My housemates got a silvery vectra with chromies, looks better than non-shiny rims that he had on there before.

Id say got for it.

IMHO chrome works best on cars that are black or silver....in terms of the rims integrating into the whole package.

Magnas actually look nice with chrome given the chrome/shiny window surround that helps blend it all in

Nah - chrome and silver is a nasty combo

Try gun metal or the gunmetal and black or maybe black with a little bit of chrome ???

It depends on what look your after as well....

Rice
Class
Sport
Drifter
etc...

I went for class. Elegant angular chrome rims to go with the angular lines of the TH/KH. Uber Drifter wouldn't fit with my car as there is nothing sporty about it (no spoiler, body kit etc) and just wouldn't have worked. On VRXs and Ralliarts, IMHO nothing looks better than some Drifter style rims.

So yeah before anybody tells you should or shouldn't get, ask yourself what you want your car to look like and what it should portray, then decide.

I couldnt imagine my car with anything else but chromies.
