Chrome 128 Photos
 
Just wondering if anyone has any photos of the chrome 128's on their car. I've seen them in the X5 accessory catalog, but would really like to see how they look in real life photos.

Thanks.

:thumbdown I would go with the regular painted 128 wheels (just my opinion) ;)

Thanks Mr.X for the link. I did a search prior to posting for chrome 128, but that post didn't show up.

Really leaning more towards alloy's still. Never had chrome and just wanted to see them in a real life photo. For the 128's it actually detracts from the looks.

Why do people get chrome anyways? More bling or are they easier to take care of?

It looks like more bling (that's not a good thing) I think the days of super shinny wheels are done. I never cared for that look anyway, but at one point it was very popular...remember spinners?:rofl:

Anyway, I'm a little bias...I would stick with the alloy look.

Shinny wheels as i've observed isn't an east coast thing but here in cali its a standard or a symbol for upgraded wheels. It could be due to the weather, chrome wheels are a bit harder to maintain in snow regions. I've seen the 128 chrome in person, its very nice, as matter of fact i almost got it, but i'm already maintaining 2 sets of shinnies

I prefer the gray alloy look as well.............
