actually i wanted to go for the chrome but there is hardly anyone in india who does aftermarket chrome plating and the companies like aura are askin an exorbitant price

two suggestions

1)get the whole rim painted in matt finish black, n get the callipers painted either in red or in yellow.

2) leave the outermost ring of the rim in chrome, (a thin circle) n get the whole rim painted in whatever colur u want,but in metalic.

dude go by ur choice thing that you find good on the car. i th9ink there are way too many options you can go for. check out some alloy wheel site for a finish that u like.
