only corsas which IMO pull it off are iaz's and jacko's...

unless the styling is completely insane, and extremely well done like the 2 mentioned, then yes, otherwise, stick to silver/black...

chrome goes well with arden blue as i used to have chromes on my and IMO it looked quality. but, youll have a lot of problems with chrome in the UK if you dont ensure that you keep them exceptionally clean

I wouldn't have the chromed I would have them chrome painted as actual chrome coating won't work very well...

I went for chrome but be prepared to take care of them. But my car needs a black respray :s

P.S. Mine aren't deep dish but 16" and not so friendly offset. So, I need to sort out a bit the arches before lowering

The paint is £240/litre, I think you should only need a litre of the stuff... It takes about 2.5 weeks to paint them. I would say that it could cost the same as electroplating them in real chrome though.

OR, if you get them plated in real chrome, you can get special laquer that sticks to chrome to protect the wheels.

If you go for the chrome paint then I would be up for taking it on at cost price as an experiment
