I wanted to ask members of the board, on their personal opinion of silver vs chrome wheels. I am in process of purchasing Lorinser LM5's in chrome or silver for my 2004 E320. Any feedback would be appreciated.

The chrome wheels are heavier (degrading ride and handling) and will not wear quite as well over time.
Be sure to pick up a set of wheel locks as well. You don't want the nice wheels to be stolen, and your car left sitting on its brake rotors.
