chrome plated Rallyes?
« on: January 01, 2005 - 09:58:06 PM »
anyone got pics of these? I am about to restore my rallyes and was curious what chrome rallyes would look like on my car. Anyone been-there, done-that?

To be honest, I've never seen them. That would certainly be a different look though. Anyone see any?

Bart,
  Thanks for the pictures. I don't know NZ, I would have to see them. They kind of look good to me. Especially with the darker argent cnter caps.

I guess in person they always look better rather than over the net but I guess I just don't like my chrome wheels, leave it for the rice.  ;D :grinyes:

Wow - thanks for the pix Bart!  :thumbs:

I would like to see a chromed set with the trim rings rather than just the bare chromed wheel. Not that there's anything wrong with the bare wheel and center cap look, I just think chrome would work better as an accent on a rallyes rather than a bare chromed wheel. Somehow, the chromed rallyes in the pics strikes me as common looking?

So you are looking for the stock rallye wheels with the extra chrome trim piece option?  :dontknow: :)

no, was interested in seeing a chromed wheel like in the pics but with brushed or polished trim rings. The Duster wheels appear to be chromed with center caps only.
