Default New wheels. Pics

Ok so I ran with the chrome for a bit, gave it the old college try. Almost started to like it. But in the end I just could not do it.... I don't run chrome on any of my vehicles. The truck , the bike, So I'm afraid to say the chrome has
to go. After a recent visit to the jag dealer , needed some touch up paint for my STR before I sold it, zero chrome on the showroom floor there too



















These almost match the factory vapor grey color. And the dark areas are not black , they are called a dark tint. Not being a black car I think it's a little more difficult to make it work. I want it to blend in some and not be the main focus. Next I'll wrap the window trim and the two chrome bits on the bumper.

the wheels are Niche, 20x8.5" and 20 x10" calipers are a factory grey/blueish color might just through some stickers on them or maybe black.....the car is going into the wrap shop shortly for window trim and a few chrome body parts... how do you like the Eurocharged tune? worth it? do you have passing emissions issues do to the exhaust work?

Thanks...Was looking at Rohana 20" RC22 myself and they look very similar.
Tune was the best thing I have done....big difference in HP that I noticed...I also did the Pulley swap at the same time so it was two fold....no issues what so ever after the Tune and Pulley. ..just more power!
