DO IT...

Worse case scenario, you DONT like it, it looks crappy, you peel it off and you are out like 20 bucks...

Best case scenario is you LOVE it, it looks AWESOME, you dont peel it off, and it only cost like 20 bucks to give UC a WHOLE NEW LOOK...

Don't do it, stay with Chrome.....

The black wheel fad will wear out eventually. Chrome is classic and will be around forever.

Try it to see if you like it. And tons of cars now have chrome clad wheels from ford, to gm, to dodge, chrysler, and jeep. I think some foreign cars have it too, just can't remember which ones. There are very few actual chrome wheels, I think the chrome srt wheels and the 2011 ram R/T 22s like on my truck are the only ones from dodge, chrysler, and jeep that are real chrome

you can go to www.finishlinewheel.com and get some real nice polished aluminum ones from the 09 model year...

I like these wheels and for $300 each, it's really not that bad of a deal:
