Had too many problems with the chrome on my last set so I went back to painted. I had no idea that 'naked' chrome is only suitable for desert-like environments...
Before:
After:
The 'before' pic is what they looked like when brand-new, but after driving them a few times in the beginning of the rainy season then parking the car for a few months during the winter, the chrome started pitting, rusting and chipping away by spring. Then I clipped a curb, and their fate of the trashcan was sealed.
The new ones are obviously a lot less flashy, but they do have a deep-dish stainless polished lip I like a lot. Click the image for full-size. They're 17x9.5-18x10.5. on Michelin Pilots.
