new rims?
#26
Personally, I am not apposed to the chrome rims. I just think that in the pictures we've seen, the chrome rims look very shiny due to the lighting techniques used by photographers. In a real environtment, the rims would not look as shiny. With certain colors, chrome wouldn't look half bad, such as with dark blues or blacks. This is becuase the car color itself is not bright and noticable such as with a yellow or a red car. With the brighter colors, like yellow, the rims are too extreme because they are just as bright as the rest of the car, while with darker colors, the rims compliment the stylish sleek design. Anyway, I believe that the chrome rims will be an option to the matte ones found on the manual vehicles.
