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

Sorry about the mucho grande size of the original pics. I was in a hurry and didn't think about that. Try them now.

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!
