Thanks, yeah I agree chrome is more difficult to maintain and get's dirty faster.

I would powdercoat them black. Chrome or silver dont do it for me in that style, but if I get my hands on a set in black, Ill grab them since I have a brand new set of Dunlop Spoert Maxx in the size tires you mentioned just sitting around in the back of my warehouse.

don't powdercoat them black, just buy the black ones from hardcore muscle.

Front wheels: 9X20, offset 25mm, 275/35/20

Rear wheels: 10X20, offset 45mm, 275/40/20

Yea, get a new set of gears that start with a 4, cause those big heavy wheels/tires are gonna slow your car down a bit if you're still running the stock gears.

Is this absolutely necessary or will it damage something otherwise?

It looks like new gears will cost me up to $200, let me know if this is optional?

Can you please offer any suggestions, links?
