Chrome wheels are horrible on anything and everything. The rest of the world figured this out in the 70s. America is the only market for chrome wheels today.

Hey if you are going to go the way of the pimp might as well go all the way.

I'm not a big fan of chrome, but those look pretty good on that car. Of course, I'm not a big fan of the color either.

My wife wanted that color. She had a BMW 3-series that was close to this color with chrome wheels and I guess she was sick of driving around in the silver Maxima.

the front looks good, the back looks way too shiny.... personally, i'm a fan of polished aluminum.. chrome rarely looks good. your IS is definitely on the upper end of chrome, but i'd still take aluminum over it :)

Thanks, the car is definitely a head turner. I like being seen in it almost as much as I like driving it. It really is a very sporty sedan.

Looks nice on your car. Chrome doesn't always work with cars, but it does work sometimes. To say it Chrome looks bad on everything is just dumb.

Looks nice.

I didn't think married men bothered with stuff like that though...
I'm guessing that 90% of the demographics of people who buy things like that are: male, single.

They don't look too bad on your car. At least you have a Lexus to talk and not some Civic or whatever.

Hehehe, it's actually my wife's car. She wanted the chrome wheels and she loves that color. :laugh:

Edit-See the silver car behind it? That's my car.
