    Default Changing Wheels

    Hi About to start a new job and have to park my ute in a carpark or on the street. Not to happy about that and have just bought a set of chaser rims that i will paint black. I am thinking this will not stand out to much and deter theives. Is this the best option.
    I have done several mods like diff, extractors ect and just want it to look normal, but still not too stock. more interested in go than show. So do you think black chasers will look ok or should i just keep it how it is and hope for the best.

    This is my ute now

    black chasers with center caps and chrome nuts will lokk good, i wouldnt worry unless its a dodgy area.

    to answer the question, id just say leave it as is, because i personally think it looks good and just go to supercheap and get some 10-20$ locknuts.. problem... solved

    Hey Guys.... Thanks for the advice. I have lock nuts on them already and the area is a bit more prone to theft so I will see how it goes.
