chrome wheels

Gleaming car rims

Chrome wheels are vehicle wheels with a shiny, mirror-like finish achieved through chromium plating.

The term often appears in hip-hop and car culture as a status symbol: He pulled up in a Cadillac on chrome wheels.

Sometimes shortened to chromes: spinning on chromes.

The gleaming surface suggests money spent on appearance rather than performance.
