I have always been a fan of Chrome wheels but I have never owned a import until now and I know most import owners hate chrome wheels on their rides. My Elantra is Silver so I am really having a hard time deciding what will look good on my car. I did fing one silver Elantra pic with Chrome wheels that I thought looked real good so let me know what you think.

Note that is not my car but looks exactly like mine in color and drop.

i like chrome too, but those aren't that attractive. a lot of people will argue to go with silver wheels to match the car, and that would look nice too.
i like these myself on the chrome pov:

Chrome would look good as well as hyper light or silver too.

I am in the same boat. I want to buy a set of wheels soon, but can not decide. I am leaning towards HyperDark or Black. I am leaning towards these https://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?ProdId=1594 , but I am not sure if the HyperDark is dark enough. I have 20% tint so I am looking to match the windows. Are your windows tinted? That alone changed the whole look of the silver car.

I'm not a big fan of chrome because they're heavy and on a small sport compact, heavy wheels do not equal sporty. But, I still think those wheels look pretty nice.
I think it would be dumb to buy rims based on someone else's opinions. Even if most of us don't like it, all that matters is that you like it. It's your money.

I'm not sure what it is....maybe the combo of the chrome and the black on those wheels in the pic but I really like them on the Elantra. I think those are the wheels I may get even though I usually hate buying wheels that others have on the same car. I found a website with those wheels on at least 5 different color cars and tey all looked good to me.
