Since a lot of people here seem to dislike chrome rims on imports I am interested in your opions on the chromes on Vin's RX7 in this movie. I thought it looked better than the aluminum look rims that were on some of the other main cars in this movie.

i agree....

i run a set of chrome 19" AXIS hagen's and i think they look damn good !!

it depends a lot on what color your car is and what image your car is sending.... (i use chrome for the show / elegant look)

if i owned a white celica it'd either have gunmetal or painted white rims

a silver celica + aluminum rims = awesome !!

hey... it's all about what you like - be original !!

those rims on Vin's RX7 would be sweet on a celica - ImO

these wheels aren't chrome... they are "polished silver" aka "crystal polished"... NOT chrome..

ps... THE LIP IS chrome... NOT the fangs
