I love the wheels in chrome! I thought they would be too loud, but they actually seem to fit the car.

Are these chrome plated or just mirror polished?
Thanks!

It' is chrome plated with light black color. $120 each wheel(including repair).
it takes 10 days.

Looking at the bottom picture, I think you have made a mistake. The break calliper shouldn't be bolted to the outside of the wheel

Certainly a sum of extremist they hated any thing made in Japan even they doesn't know their BMW a part of OEM parts comes from Japan.

No more then 3000 Kizashi units has been sold in China market. most are MT.
Wow, those figures are so low for such a large market. I can see that Suzuki is regarded as a small car specialist, but the Kizashi is not small. Sounds like Suzuki didn't market the car in China well much like everywhere else.

Interesting to learn most are MT. Are most comparable cars in that segment also MT in China?

Lastly, why the serious brake upgrade for a not-so-fast car?

You should ditch those Yokohama dB E70 tyres - then you'll get vastly better braking. ;)

The wheels look very nice. Will it be hard to keep them looking that good? (Will that finish scratch easy or go dull?)

That's one massive set of brakes! (I assume the "345" is the rotor diameter in mm?)
