Do any of you folks like this wheel? And also do any of you have this wheel, and would care to post pics of it? Thanks.

Sorry but chrome is ugly. Bling FTL.

Ever consider a black or bronze wheel? then you'd be in busniess. even basic silver or gunmetal work great, just please not chrome! :)

My opinion? No. Also I think Neons are bad candidates for the chrome rim. They don't belong on sport compact cars. I noticed you have Neon lights in and out of your car...nvm then. It will look awesome dude! The lights will make the chrome more bling bling. Get them dawg! :D j/k

I say no go also... chrome just about never looks good on a Neon, or atleast I have yet to see a chrome wheel on a Neon that looks good, who knows if you get them you might suprise us. I still say no though -?

I dunno, I see chrome on some cars that looks good, and visa-versa. I did see, however, a 1st gen neon with chrome 16's and it looked good as heck. So, like Diablo0 said, surprise us!

I do like the wheels VERY much, but like I said, I don't like chrome on Neons. Mine are too chrome for me, and they're not chrome...they're machined! If you went and painted the spokes gunmetal or black, they'd be a HELL of a good-looking wheel on a Neon, but I'm gonna stick with a no. Sorry bro...

i'm not likeing the rivets on the lip... make the wheels look too bussy.

as for the chrome goes... i will agree with dine, it depends on the scheme of the car. the whole bronze/black/gunmetal thing will pass just like white did.... but chrome, thats here to stay.
