cray wheels chrome or silver

Thanks for all your input on cray manta wheels. After talking to
Butler Tire here in atlanta and listening to all
of your comments im going with silver over chrome
on my torch red 03. I really think the silver is a richer look, and
yes the price is better too. The tire guys see a trend that chrome
is on the way out, again thanks for the input.

Congrats on your decision. Can't go wrong with either. I'm old school and still like chrome rims.

Chrome is good! I'd like to see black die a slow death, it only makes wheels look cheap.

Chrome will always be classic and cool.

I however think black wheels look good also. There are plenty of exotic cars that come factory with blacked out wheels. They don't look cheap to me.

I tend to disagree with your tire guys - I don't think chrome will go out of style anytime soon. But on a TR car, either chrome or silver will look very good.
