Does anyone have a picture of chrome contours? I know its kinda silly but I was just wondering what they looked like.

had a friend with a MINT 95 estroil m3 with chrome contours and i can vouch for them, very classy and didnt loose a touch of sportyness either. contours have a good shape for chrome

Interesting... Ive been thinking about it. I know chrome weighs a lot but since im not competitive with my car it doesnt really affect me. Any idea on what it would cost to chrome all 4 wheels?

Don't get them chromed. They look better in the factory finish.

Chrome looks GREAT on estrill....

However you can do what i did!
I got a set of at italia type 5 sports (look just like contours but with a larger lip) the center is almost like a gun metal and the lip is polished..
They look AMAZING

Heres some pics..
they are about 500k each...
