Pony Rims Chrome or not
 
I am ordering Pony rims this week.

Have the money for chrome but I am wondering if I should just get Silver.

What would you do?

Is Diversified the best place to order?

Thanks

I really like the chrome, but then you have to worry about the chrome chipping. How much are those wheels each??

I have a buddy that has the polished ones on his car and they look sweet. They don't shine as good a chrome but nearly. I dont know how much the price is on those but thats what I suggest.

I don't know why but I don't like chrome rims at all. I think chrome looks great in the engine though, hmmm go figure.

Anyways I vote for the silver rims. Got any pics of the rims??? http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

dont get chrome, IMHO it makes the car look cheap and ghetto, if its only between the chrome and silver then get the silver, but have you seen the white ones? those look bad *** i think, especially if your car is white

It depends on what color car you have. IMO chrome ponies look good on a black or red mustang, but wouldn't look good on my white GT.

And chrome pony wheels don't look ghetto, like some other chrome wheels, so I don't know where that came from.

That must be why chrome is more expensive then silver....

I know what your saying, fiveohpatrol. It reminds me of rice, I don't like the chrome rims. I really don't like to see 18" or 20" chrome rims on most cars either. Don't like them too small or sticking out too far. I have no problem with welds though http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif I like the pony rims but just not chromed.

But hey, its your car. If you like it, buy it http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif
