    have you considered a darker silver, almost like a shadow chrome? Because I think chrome would look funny...

    I know you can get rims repainted for about $150 each.

    I have seen VY SS in black, champagne, dark grey, and bright pink. The only ones that looked good were the champagne ones, they were on a white car, looked shmicko!

    so theres a few ppl who got sick of the stock colour of them,polished sounds good,anyone know of a website or something i can get a preview of what they look polished.silly question but what tyre pressure do you guys & gals run in your 18's,my drive is gravel & has pot holes in them,not the best road.

    Give Chrome masters a call (08) 8252 6966 they can answer all your questions regarding polishing & chroming...prob be ten times cheaper to paint them though.

    last wheels i got painted for a mate only cost him $100 each,so thats not to bad.

    It was moved because its a general question. A question about chroming VY SS rims doesn't relate to just the VR/VS section.

    It was moved to obtain a better response (i.e. how many replies in this thread are just from VR/VS owners?).

    p.s. Just in case you think it was, I didn't move it as im not a moderator.
