"Starting at 14psi tells me you are into drag events. Drag tires barely touch the same physics required of a performance automotive tire."

Never Drag raced in my life. Road raced in SCCA, IMSA, NASCAR...Soft compound Racing Goodyear slicks on asphalt obviously has nothing to do with hard compound treaded street tires.Just used that analogy. This is obviously also off topic to the thread so I apologize to Viper1996. Stay safe Vince.

That sounds like what I recall for mine that came with OEM 19" wheels.

Thanks. I'll try that in the spring, instead of the 34/37 I've been running (30/33 +4). Probably won't notice any difference, but just for grins.

My thoughts, if the OP is still here:
- this is all, of course, "eye of the beholder" stuff. No right answer.
- and, of course, fashions change. It's chrome, now it's black, now it's chrome again. But as many a designer will tell you-- fashion changes. Style doesn't. In other words: you do you.
- see, me, I don't think chrome wheels work on these cars. I feel like you're gonna slow down, roll the window down, and try to sell me something.
- And I LOVE Capitol1's wheels (and PLEASE JESUS tell me that Capitol1 works for the credit card company....)

As the OP has chrome already, there is little else that can be done than what has already been recommended.
As for chrome rims themselves, I dislike them for the simple fact that chrome is heavy, and adds no structural integrity. Keeping rims lite has benefits.
