you see chrome everywhere... the anniversary wheels complement the car better... and they will make your car stand out more from the herd.

Polaroid. :) Usually takes better pics, but the sun wreaks havoc with the exposure.

Man what a hostile group! I'm not normally a chrome wheel fan, but ease of upkeep and quality chrome on the stockers has changed my mind. Hope that doesn't offend anyone. LOL Y'all have a great weekend:p

Ditto.

I went from loving the 00R to the FR500 Chrome and now the AFS Stock Replica Chromies. I am looking for the 10.5" rim as well, so that helps my decision.

I love the chrome look (voted chrome), but I used to have a set of chrome wheels on a car that had to sit out in the weather. I waxed those things to no end, but they still got pitted, and eventually started to chip and rust. Is this a thing of the past? Will stock chromies hold up in the weather?

I like the stock 03 wheel. I even like the stock satin/polished wheels over the 03 chrome wheel. It reminds me of the hotwheels wheel. The black and silver in that pattern to me looks like the classic hotwheel wheels. Do they makean aftermarket set of rears just like my stock satin wheel but in a 17 or 18X10.5 ? AFS? How about a 15 or 16 inch wheel that looks like the stock rims? I tried to find them once but did not have any luck. I will check again. Is there a package deal around for skinnies and fatties (all four rims and tires) for our car?

To answer part of your question, discounttiredirect makes the stock wheel in both chrome and satin in 18x9 and 18x10.5. Don't think you'll find 15 or 16 inch stock rims though. They offer different tire/wheel packages depending on your needs, and would probably work with you as far as discounts. I sometimes wish I had gotten the 18x10.5 instead of the 17x10.5, but I was looking to solve my traction/wheel hop problems, and the 17x10.5's with Nitto 315 DR's did the trick. With the 18's you are defeating the purpose even though they may look better.
