i see any car has a dark color it will be nice if it's with bright color , so with your orange you can go with black chrome

It is all up to your taste..don't listen to anyone else. Do some research, go to some meets and compare...

Sub has a point, dark with light color schemes has a great contrast. However, I like the all dark look on most of my vehicles (Imperial blue with blacked out accessories)...but alot of people don't care for that look.

From what I have learned in the few months of owning this car, chicks like bright shiney stuff / chrome. My buddies and I (and oddly enough, alot of criminals) seem to like the blacked out "murda" look. lol...

Interesting thought. I jsut got tired of indecision. So, I went with what i know will look good.... the bright chrome. Hopefully, no one will think it is a chick car

It's an age thing. Youngsters like the batmobile look for some reason. Us older guys like the POP of bright or chrome wheels.

Edscapade · 06-30-2011, 09:40 PM

While that may be partially true, I love black chrome for another reason. I'm being 100% honest here too: it's really futuristic looking and awesome, the futuristic part is what makes it awesome. I just feel like its out of A Space Odyssey or something.

Definitely bright chrome, shiny chrome always looks better

I'm 42 yrs old and not a big fan of chrome or polish alum spend more time cleaning and polishing than driving or riding. Slowly blacking out 05 American Iron Horse Tejas that matches my IOM 2SS/RS even white stripe on tank and rear fender

qtr-camaro ss · 07-01-2011, 05:36 PM

i like the black chrome more .. its just nicer and looks better with orange color ( thats what i think .. its up to you at the end )

ssmike · 07-02-2011, 06:27 PM

Does anyone have pics of both side by side? I think I like the black chrome better from what I've seen!

Amenti · 07-02-2011, 06:39 PM

Personally, I think a car looks better with a bit of contrast thrown into it. Black chrome would look great on an IOM car; and, you can paint your brake calipers to match the IOM to make them pop from behind the wheels.
