Hello,

I want to put some new rims on my mustang from American Muscle, but I can decide between the Chrome and Hypercoated . Can anybody help?
My car is fire red color with a black LeBra and a black spoiler chin in the front.


Which way should I go? and Why?


Thanks For the Help

chrome,cause ur car is red and car will stand out on it

Arent those wheels with an 05+ offset? I'd say neither. Prostars and slicks/skinnies FTW.

Those wheels have a +30mm offset, The ones I currently have are Roush and they have a +28mm offset.

I really like the way chrome stands out, but I'm afraid it wont last as long as the Hypercoated. Now I have this car in a garage 6 days week. That might help to prolong the life of the chrome.

Both will last if you take care of them.

Why do you think chrome wont last? Odd.

hypercoated saleens.. or black will go with the flow..
not sure if that's the style your getting, but you may want to hit the chop shop and see if somebody can put them on your car before you buy them...

Finally a car that would look good with chrome! lol. I am the anti-chrome usually, but think chrome would look good on your car color.

Well, I've heard from a lot of people that chrome usually last for about 3-5 years and it starts to peel off and you can see a discoloration. That has happened with my current roush rims.

Hm.. my chrome wheels are 7+ years old and look brand new.

M.P. Cobra Fan,
I'm not a huge fan of Chrome either, unless is done with taste and moderate. I belive the chrome ones will make the car stand out and kind of hide small blemishes by demanding more attention to the rims.
On the other hand with the black chin spoiler and Lebra, the hypercoated ones might flow better.

ke^in,
How do you take care of them.

 

[Ke^in]

Well I wash my car once a week.. If the wheels start getting dusty, I clean them.

Never heard about Chrome plating peeling on wheels.

id go with black saleens!

If they are the stock wheels they aren't chrome, they are polished aluminum. The GTs didn't come stock w/ chrome wheels. I originally thought mine we chrome until someone on here informed me they weren't an option.

The chrome/polished ones

 

[00redgt]

keep the chrome wheels polished and they will last

Not stock.
