Chrome can be real tasteful on a B5.5. Whoa91's car is a perfect example.

what color is your B5 or 5.5??

 

Get the chrome

those rims would look fine.

 

^^nice!! i love black rolling on chrome

 

I was gonna get the armano dunamis, but I got my HP Shadows alot cheaper from wheelmax.com

 

Get what YOU want, tell your friends to find something better to think about than the riciehood of your car.

 

Thanks for your replies guys, i will get them asap ! I drive a 98 Passat, and its an aqua blue color, which im not too crazy about ! plus im looking for a grille , clear lights and side markers but cant find them anywhere.
I love that black beauty on chrome.. :bow:

 

black with chrome wheels goes with the trim and the tint is contrasted by the shiny ass wheels can't go wrong with black

 

a - get what you want.

b - chroming adds weight and makes the metal alloy more brittle.

c - I think it looks a little to 'blingy' for my taste. I went with 'super silver' whells (kahn rss) and really like them on my ink blue variant. They are powder coated, not painted and the color has a richer look with out being bright chrome. here's a pic...

 

If you have to ask........?


You will NEVER go wrong being understated.


IMHO, there are much better choices.

 

I agree. If it is something that crossed your mind then you will eventually feel the wheels are too Bling Bling. I would at least sleep on it for awhile and check out others cars w/similar wheels and see if you still want them. If so, go get em! :thumbup:

 

I got the duamis on my 98 silver b5. Check it out, see if you like the look. I love the way it looks! Get a hell of alot of props! Thay're preatty sturdy, I drive around on them in boston. (Under the "west coast", Curry) good luck!!

look on eBay or the classifieds section of this forum.. there is a guy selling clear corner stuff for B5s at very reasonable prices.

 

I wanted to accent all the chrome on my B 5.5, so chrome wheels were the only way to go. Besides, they are super easy to clean and turn heads because they can be seen better than silver-finish or mono-chromatic wheels. I even replaced the "Branzach" center caps with my factory VW wheel emblems to profess my love for all things Volkswagen!

There are better choices then the one you have listed above. IMO, Chrome is nice... but the car has to look nice with it. Some chrome rims are just too much for the B5, and B5.5's. I personally went with an Axis HyperSilver, which sometimes glistens like chrome, depending on the sun and light.

 

vw centercaps

wow I like your rims alot, you got limo tint on your variant? where did you get your vw centercaps I want them for my chromies :lol:

 

KvyKevin-
The tint covering the whole windshield serves me well in the Vegas heat, and cuts down on the glare from oncoming headlights at night. The VW center caps are off my stock wheels. I just popped them out with the back of a screwdriver and they fit nice in the Branzach wheels.

Customizing a vehicle is a matter of taste. Others may or may not like chrome wheels, but building a custom ride means making something YOU like. Most people dislike the color of my peach mini Blazer, but it's my truck, not there's.
