Default Brembo Brake package wheels better in chrome?

Is it just me or do you guys think the 19'' wheels that come with the Brembo Brake package would look much better in chrome? I've honestly never been a black wheels fan, and I'm so-so on gunmetal. I know a lot of people love black wheels these days, but I think on a bright car (like red), the wheels would look better chrome. Has anyone ever had theirs chromed?

Maybe on a black car only. I personally don't care for chrome.

Have you looked into the cost of good quality plating? Having a set of wheels would not be cheap. As a point of reference, I had a couple Moroso tanks, brake reservoir cover and an intake tube done and it ran >$400.

It's all just opinion, do what you want, but I don't think any wheel looks better in all chrome. I think it looks especially bad on bright cars.

I'll keep mine as-is thank you. I wish I could delete ALL of the chrome from my car, inside and out.

There pretty bright as it is, honestly. Chrome would be too much.
