chrome rims

Flashy car wheels

Chrome rims are wheel rims with a shiny, mirror-like chrome plating, associated with car customization and hip-hop culture.

They're a status symbol—flashy, expensive, and meant to be noticed: He rolled up in a Cadillac with chrome rims spinning.

Also called chrome wheels or simply chromes.
