Opinions on Imola & Chrome 168's
I've recently sold my '04 Carbon Black 4.4i and am looking for a '06 4.8is to replace it. I've found a few and the best deal so far is a Imola/Black 4.8is. The only challenge for me are the OEM 168's have been Chromed. This is the only challenge for me on this unit. I've attached a pic of one rim. Please give me your advice straight up on the vision of an Imola with chromed 20s.

Not a fan of chrome myself, but if the price is right on the vehicle, I would pull the trigger. But then again, you can use that as part of your bargaining deal. Besides, you can always sell your chrome wheels and replace it with whatever you desire!

I don't like chrome on a sporty vehicle. I've got an Imola Red '05 I'd consider selling.

not my favorite, but I would not pass up a good deal on the basis of the rim finish.

I've seen the imola red with the chrome wheels....it does not look right. Something about the contrast between the red and the shiny chrome is not to my liking.
