M5 Chrome VS Non Chrome

So I am polling about 18" M5 rims. So my first question is chrome or no chrome. I have a black 99 540 sport package with the M kit on it. I like the look of chrome but want the best sporty yet flashy look (not tasteless).The next question is what is general feeling about replica rims? I would appreciate any help since I am a novice to there areas. Thanks guys

Chrome 18s:

1) M5 rims on a 540
2) Chrome M5 rims on a 540



Your poll needs a 3rd choice - Neither.

Factory "Shadow Chrome" is ok, but not bling bling bright rapper chrome...

Thats funny "but not bling bling bright rapper chrome..."

what should be my 3rd option keeping in mind affordability? Thanks

Personally, I Would Go With The Chrome If The M5 Rims Are What You Really Want. As For Aftermarket Wheels, I Have The Breyton Magic Racing And I Get Compliments All The Time. You Should Also Check Out Hre.

There is a reason most car manufactures like Porsche, MBZ and BMW don't offer chrome on stock wheels from the factory. It is always a dealer installed option.--- It ruins the heat treatment.

That is my arguement for not getting chrome, besides the fact that it cheapens the look of most cars.

I would try to find some that look just like stock M5 rims, they aren't chrome but like nate said they are a shadow chrome, kind of polished look, I much rather that look
