Message	I'm probably going to get my current wheels refinished in a month or so (Mackin Industries Gewalt Type-S 17x10/17x8.5...discontinued for about 6-7 years now), but I don't know if I want to get them chromed or in a silver the color of the car, or the "bright" silver. Do you think the chrome is "too much" for a silver Z? Here's some pics I saw that I had on my computer saved from tt.net back in 1999 or 2000 from a member here (I think his name was "silgew") Here's pics of my Z... and then pics of his Z with the same wheels but chrome... is it too much? and then the same wheels I have, but in chrome... is it a bit much or you think it looks ok? I'm torn between which way to go. Current Z's: 1991 Silver Metallic TT 5spd
