going for the AutoZone hubcap look?

Are they at least lighter than the steelies?

No, that's what I felt the original hubcaps looked like. I like my wheels to have some substance and fluid lines without all the fake bolt heads and flat surfaces and huge open spaces between tiny spokes. I really couldn't care less if they weigh less than the steelies.

I like what I like

Congrats on the wheels man.

I like um! The blue valve stem is cool too :) (it might be a reflection, but it looks blue in the last picture)

silver_echo · 03-22-2009, 03:24 PM

looks like a blue valve cap to me

*kimona* · 03-22-2009, 03:58 PM

Yup, wheels are a very personal thing; we each have our own likes and dislikes.

The blue valve stem cover is a nice touch.

Nice chromies mate... looks sweet

I always thought you have to spend an arm and a leg to keep them shiny

jdinrc · 03-23-2009, 09:08 PM

Thanks all! I luv my chromies!

Yes, they are blue valve stem caps. The shop just put them on, I didn't even have to ask them about it.

As I understand it, these should be easier to take care of since it is an aluminum wheel that's chromed instead of a steel wheel. I got some McGuire's Chrome Wheel Cleaner to get the tuff stuff off, but other than that it should be wash & dry to prevent spots.

Now I have to think about getting the calipers and drums painted. Blazing Blue perhaps??

jinxor · 03-23-2009, 09:56 PM

Great idea mate.... get it done

It goes perfect with blazing blue! Spoiler, tints, and 2009 car are plus!

My Yaris with Toyota ED-10 wrapped with Goodyear Eagle LS 185/60 R 15:

I plan to either powder coat them in Gold or Black not sure yet.

dvlnblkdrs · 03-24-2009, 02:36 AM

minired5stby · 03-24-2009, 02:42 AM

dvlnblkdrs · 03-24-2009, 02:48 AM
