Anyone have pics of chrome Turbo Twists?

Seeking pics of cars (escpecially black) with mounted chrome Turbo Twists. Thinking about getting a set, but can't quite picture 'em...

Thanks.

Most of the wheels you are seeing on Pelican are fully polished aluminum, not chrome. Chrome is said to actually take away from the structural integrity of your aluminum wheels as well.

Are these turbo twists? Don't look like chrome, though.

Danny,
Your wheels bring your car together, man!!!!! The GT2 look is awesome.
Just my .02 but I wouldn't change a thing.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. I was hoping the wheels were "directional", but I see they're not. Guess I'll keep looking.

Thanks. Up close, the wheels are looking old. The style is a little dated, too. Looking to give the car a more modern look.

Whaddya all think of these?:

Hey Dan the man,

IMHO if you put those Feabay wheels on your car they will " fade " completely away due to the centers being black, the only thing you will see are the rim's since they are silver/chrome/polished what ever.

Just my .02,

Also what tail is that ? It looks aftermarket and all glass right ?

Todd

PS... my wife thinks that the chrome wheels on my black car " make it " what ever that means.

The tail is from "Better Bodies" in San Diego. Most of it is fiberglas, but the cross-piece (wing?) is carbon fiber and adjustable.

Your wife knows what she's talking about. I believe chrome looks good only on certain colors, black being one of them.
