Better pics of chrome Ronals on car
OK, now I got the better pics up. Now you can really see how they look. I think these pictures really show how nice these wheels are. But, you still can't appreciate them in pictures I guess.

I know the front looks high, but it still is not sitting normal. I guess I have to take it for a ride to get it to sit at normal heighth. I agree that tinting would be really good. I do plan on doing that this summer.

As I said before, the chrome perfectly accents your car's color and style. I think you made a wonderful choice.
I agree window tint would look nice.

FLYNLOW, I bought the wheels already chromed from Hawks. I believe that is how they came right from Ronal. Maybe a limited production run maybe?
They were $400 more than the standard finish Ronals.

IMO the chrome is just too much, they're great looking rims and that's a beautiful car but I'd never put them on my car. The bling factor is just too high, the chrome just overshadows the rest of the car if you know what I mean.

Here's the skinny on the chrome....fact and opinion.
Chrome is highly reflective, that's why it's used. Originally it was done to dress up plain old accent pieces. It hides the natural lines of whatever has been coated for 2 reasons. First, the bright shine naturally breaks up the edges, and second, the edges are actually slightly rounded, due to the thickness of the actual plating.
Now, whether or not you like that look, is an individual opinion.
Regardless of what I would of done, I think we all agree it's an awesome looking car.

i say they are perfect the way they are...i never cared for those rims especially on a camaro. i think the satin finish fits the pontiacs but that chrome is something else. after seeing your wheels if i were to go with a cast wheel and no larger then 17 that would be it.
leave the wheels the way they are and start on the rest of the car...stunning.
