The word “chrome” comes from chromium, a soft metal known is for its super shiny appearance when polished. Chromium is not strong enough to be cast solid which means that custom chrome wheels are made with alloys encompassing aluminum and covered in a thin layer of chrome, giving them that unbeatable shine and allure that only comes with this special process. Chrome plating is brighter, richer, and more reflective than other polished metals, all of which contribute to its popularity and appeal as a custom wheel finish. To be a true lover of custom wheels,  chrome wheels are the only way to ride.

Chrome wheels made by custom wheel manufacturers like Status, Lexani, Asanti, Ruff Racing, American Racing, TSW, KMC, Boss, Dub, and Enkei, to name a few, provide your car with an exceptionally shiny and attractive wheel that stands out amid the drab stock wheels most people drive on. Nothing beats the shine and elegance of chrome wheels. Today, you can find chrome wheels in a wide range of diameters from 14 inches all the way up to 30 inches and in a number of widths. Some brands offer certain chrome wheels in staggered widths, enabling you to give your ride a more aggressive and hungrier look. For all of these reasons, chrome wheels usually cost a little more than gray wheels, silver wheels, black, wheels or machined wheels, all of which are painted and not plated with chromium.

Many wheels made by American Racing, Dale Earnhardt Jr, Petrol, and other brands always make at least one version of their models in chrome. Chrome wheels represent the most durable and the most eternal look of the custom wheels and rims world. Chrome rims offer a rare appeal beyond the simply functional and make for an unforgettably powerful head-turner. Chrome rims and wheels are to custom wheels what diamonds are to jewelery: Chrome wheels are a drivers best friend.

What about the durability of the chome wheel finish? Chrome wheels and rims are the most durable you can buy. If  you ever see chrome peeling from a wheel this is almost always due to a manufacturing defect in the plating process that fused the chrome onto the substrate. In other words, it rarely happens, another reason why chrome wheels are legendary in the custom wheels world. Whether you own a Lamborghini, a Porsche, a BMW, a Dodge or a Honda, chrome custom wheels are second-to-none when it comes to strength and allure.

The word “cheap” has many meanings for different people. For some, it means, “poor in quality, inferior”. For others it means “inexpensive” or “low-cost”. When it comes to custom wheels, most brands cost in excess of $1,500 or more for a set of four small (15 inch) wheels. The words “cheap” and “custom wheels” are rarely ever used in the same sentence. There are some great buys out in the custom wheels world however. These cheap custom wheels, or inexpensive custom rims offer drivers a great low-cost option to more expensive brands like Asanti or Lexani. For example, discerning drivers can find great buys on wheels from brands like Status, Boss, Limited or Ruff Racing at costs far below retail. Some custom wheels and rims shops offer exceptional savings in their special wheel sales.

Custom wheels offer a great, stylish, and high performance alternative to stock wheels. They provide panache, beautiful finishes and make a great statement about you and  your car.
