Chrome rims are not only a utility to keep a tire on a car anymore. They have become a conversational piece, even an iconographic way of distinguishing one's self in society. The larger the rim to the size of the tire itself and the relationship of the car, the better. For the most part, the shinier the better. Rims are bling for cars. Looking into the perfect rim led me to looking into the kind of rims that are typically sought after by car people. It is a way of life now that rappers such as Dem Franchize Boyz and Da Brat have songs dedicated to them. Songs like "Ridin' Rims" by DFB and "Ice Rims" by Da Brat have made rims a new kind of topical piece. It was at one point only interesting to have large tires on a small car. Now, it is the rims that take forefront. Most popular rims are spinners with interesting designs, usually custom made and almost always chrome. However, now they have gotten more intricate with the design. "Ice Rims" is a song that depicts a new sought after medium of rims... studded with crystals or cubic zirconium.

The rims come in different sizes for any style vehicle. Most trucks and SUV's can be put on 20" to 24" rims. The names of the rims are also intriguing. With names like Volante Competition, Paladin Shield, INCUBUS Brawn, and Verde Sinister, it's no wonder chrome rims have taken on a life of their own. These are names even the hardened D&D crowd can get into. Cars rims are similar in the designs, but only go up to 20", which has led some car guys to modify their mobile altars to the Car Gods to fit truck rims. Hollowing out tire wells and attaching lift kits afford for a new horizon for rim attachments. The tires to fit these rolling works of chromed art are specialty sized. They mostly come in tire sizes of 305/35VR24 and 315/35VR24 for trucks and 245/30HR22 and 365/35VR22 for cars. The tire for the rims are sized especially for the rims. They are smaller than the standard tire, but it seems the best way to make them fit on the car. I remember a day when getting a tire for a car was as easy as saying "I need a 34R14" and being done with it.

This world of rims has also begun seeing ATV sized spinners, for those special four wheelers that need to be pimped. Toy companies like Mattel have even picked up this way of life with Matchbox cars with spinners and custom rims and RC cars with the same. Musicians, Actors, and Sports figures make appearances in car magazines showing the rims on their own vehicles. This makes the statement, "These are the rims that I use and I'm cool. Use them and you will be, too." I believe it.

Custom chrome rims on cars are the new status symbol. They are the next step up after upgrading your stereo system. They have been the up and coming things at car shows and car expos. Chrome rims add your own special touch to your car and is often easier to do than getting a new paint job. They are a new enterprise that is everywhere and has almost limitless options. There are all kinds that you can get like spinners, iced, and custom designs. While most of the more popular ones are chrome, there are also what are called "black outs" that are solid black, as well as the ever standard gunmetal gray. Personally, the Forte F39 Chrome truck rims are amazing. The design is a five-point star with a snowflake appearance. Cost for these pieces of art and design are dependent on the size of the rim.

In short, the rims make the car and the car makes the man. At least, that is what I've heard. Vehicular modifications make the cars and trucks stand out from all the others. Making a statement with your body, or your car, is a primal necessity and what better way to do it then with flashy and distinct chrome rims like the Verde Sinister. Your low ride or your street rod wouldn't be nearly as sweet without them.
