Looking for new rims, any ideas as to where I should get them from? I want tires included...Looking for either 18" or 19" Black Chrome type design. Any help is greatly appreciated.

black chrome can look good if done correctly. for example:

Hyper-black is different, and you've got to do it right. There should only ever be, at most, three mirrors attached to your car.

lol well i'm no chrome expert by far but i thought they weren't. from what i understood one was more reflective than the other, i dunno.

to the OP, as long as the finish is dark enough it'll look good on white, if it becomes too reflective and loses its darkness, it won't look as good.

You might be right, but it's the same problem. Reflective wheels are typically harder to pull off, in my opinion, regardless of how they're made reflective. :P
