At a dealer across the highway from NUMMI. I dig the wheels too. I might try to call them back and find some info about where they had them done.

I am not to fond of the wheels either. Maybe if they were in a different style other than the OEM.

wheels are alright but i'd rather have after market design, other than that throw some teins and some tint on it and it'd look sweet

Just for the record...it's not my Vibe. I'm a Grand Prix guy, I just thought the coating on the wheels was pretty badass, and that the dealer actually did a decent job matching everything together. It would have looked awesome with a set of aftermarket rims, but at that point, I don't think anybody would buy it off the lot because of the price.

That's exacly like mine.(picked it up 3 days ago) But without the Wheels. Don't think I like those either. Not on oem anyways. Ok, picture that car with tint and these wheels on it. Thats what mine will look like. http://www.motegiracing.com/wh...desc=

Same chrome edge though and colour.

Atwork owns a Vibe GT, its black and she as a set also, looks wicked. I don't think black chrome would look good on my Vibe but there is a few colours it would look good on.

The black chrome OEM wheels look ok, but the car definitely needs tint and to be lowered. Those Motegi's will look nice on a black Vibe for sure.

it's not a different front end, it has the sport kit which has ground effects.

The sport package still looks like a snap-together model to me...the wheels where a good thought. Would have liked to have seen the 17" oems, though. or aftermarket would be even better.

Maybe its just the pics, but those black chrome wheels look more like regular chrome wheels with a years worth of brake dust coating them. I'd rather have regular chrome wheels.

is the black chrome process similar to the regular chrome process. I Don't recall ever seeing it before. It would be really cool in the right application.

Seeing as how I don't have any money to buy aftermarket rims, maybe I'll buy some Vibe wheelcovers off of ebay and paint them to look like black chrome!

I think that black chrome is awesome but on the factory 16's it makes them look smaller than they really are. Cool find though.
