Any problems with chrome wheels?

Post by Stang2Vibe »

I am strongly considering buying some chrome wheels for my Vibe and would like to know if any members here have had problems with them recently or in the past on other cars. If you have, please be specific. I really like the look, and cleaning and waxing them is not a problem for me since I usually wash my car once per week and often wax once per month. I know they will pit and rust if not properly cared for, but as I said, I think I can handle that. Also, they would be coming off the car for the winter.The wheels I want are ASA KA3 wheels. 17x7.5--Tire Rack currently has them in stock.Thanks!

Only bad experience i had with chrome was, i left them on in the winter and got a little surface rust. Also, they take alot of maintence. One spot and it reflects all over the wheels. But besides that, i love the look.
