How many?...
HOW MANY OF YOU GUYS...for Aesthetic reasons...ACTUALLY LIKE CHROME WHEELS??? 
Purely looks...not how much they cost, or how big they are, or if it doesn't work on the track...JUST LOOKS...
Let the blood-bath begin!!!
I've always wanted to bring this up...

In the 50-60's the expression was........... "if it doesn't go, chrome it!"

hate it , i liked it when i was young and naieve in the 90's then i grew up and saw it as gawdy and horrid, i dont mind a set of 17 inch tastefull chrome rims on a stock car ie factory optioned rims, but pretty much any aftermarket, and some of the new 19inch chrome stockers are just way gaudy and horrid

not really a fan, I'm more into powdercoat or anodized looking stuff (ie however they do the "bronze" color for instance)

If it's any indication, the 924S will should have its phonedials painted black. I did the same with the Integra that I sold a year ago.
