Chrome actually doesn't look too bad on these cars from what I've seen. It's surprising. But I'm going with black. Stealth and all that good stuff.

yeh your right actually, chrome can be pulled off by the 08. they have more of a luxurious style to them, so it isn't too bad.

chrome on an 02-06 on the other hand, looks like donkey ****

Yuppers. I like that the 08s can either look luxury or mean. Reminds me of the new Dodge Chargers in that way. If only we had that HP and rumble...

I own a '69 Camaro.
I've owned an '02 Lancer and an '01 Subaru, both of which received exhaust work.

Trust me, it ain't the same.

Yeah, bu the ES and DS look hilarious from the factory, which is why I'm going to put some 17's on my ES when I've got the cash to spare.

Why the hell would you buy a car you cnnot maintain.If you know you could not afford buying tires for the car why don grade the car buy putting crappy chrysler wheels on the car for everday driving (if that's what you are gonna do) it's just wrong to degrade your car like that i would understand for the track and winter but c'mon if that not be the case you should have just brought a car u can maintain.

War!!!

My opinion

Beater/auto x rims with the Chrysler grinded off and black could be ok but even if they were made out of gold I'd still not like em.

Retrofit the 02 OZ's FTW!

Maybe because the whole world doesn't have to do what YOU think is right? How's that? I honestly don't give a s**t what you think. I didn't buy my car for you. I bought it for me.

I can buy 18" tires. I chose to buy an extra set of 16" wheels. If I choose to use those wheels all year long, that's my decision. If I choose to never use them, that's also my decision.

Don't think you can talk down to me just because we disagree.

I would have just saved for some 16" Gram Lights or somethin. They would acutally look good and they would be way lighter than those things. Plus tires would be the same price.
