Default I can't make up my mind

Should I put 18x8.5 and 18x10.5 Brabus Monoblock IV two peice wheels with 225/40 and 285/35 rears or go with OEM Chrome wheels and 285/30 tires on the rear. My car is a black 07 base and I feel the chrome will really pop against the black. On the other hand the width of the Brabus wheels in the rear will fill our every inch of the wheel well . . . my concern is the extra inch do to the rears being 18's might make the rear wheel look small from the side.

I think chrome looks terrible on anything other than cars from the 1950-60's. To me it looks too "gangsta pimp yo" and tacky. A lot of people seem to like rollin on twenty fo's on SUV's and cars.

Ultimately though, it is your car and you should get what you like regardless what others think.

I like chrome when tastefully done. IMHO, the OEM wheels in chrome look horid! I like the Brabus Monoblock V 2pc as they look close to the Startech wheels.
