The images are too large to load. Try opening them in paint, resizing to...I think about 25%, and saving in .PNG format to save quality. I was able to load part of one of them and it was pretty much life-sized lol

Thanks! They look like chrome wheels don't they? Very affordable way to dress up your TC wheels and you can't tell they are actually aren't chrome wheels. :D

I'm not generally a fan of chrome wheels but these look really good with the colour of your Vibe, nicely done.

As far as I know, they don't. These are called wheel skins and they cost me $60. I really like them. :D

And I guess they protect your wheels from being curbed as well.

You can get away with chrome like that on a monotone Vibe, especially silver. The wheel skins look great. Like the 215/55 17 tire size. Meaty. That helps the look! I didn't have courage to fit 55 profile, but I did go with 225/50 17s. Would like to try 225/55 17s next time. There's a lot of room under those wheel wells!

What offset are the tc wheels?

That is the EXACT look I wanted for my silver Vibe before I found used alloys. Did'nt know wheel skins were available for Tc wheels. Doh!
