Recommendations on chrome wheels that look like Avant Garde Ruger Mesh
I would buy the Avant Garde Ruger Mesh today if they were chromed. My wife wants chrome on her Guards Red 997.1 to match the new chrome tips on it.

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

Polished HRE would look nice. That is funny about the friends not letting friends buy chrome.

Polished rims (as mentioned above) are a great idea over the chrome.

it's not possible to recommend chrome wheels for a 997.

Another bad side to chrome is trying to repair them for curb rash. I went with polished aluminum lips on my Forgeline wheels and I like the look better than chrome.

They don't stay chrome because we burn oil. Turns the exhaust tips pretty black, no getting around that.
