I agree about chrome wheels on cars (I really don't mind them on SUV/CUVs, assuming they're not too big... Wasabi's Acura looks pretty good).
The issue I have with the Viggen is in both the chrome and the wheel/tire combo. The tires look like they don't fit the wheels, and the wheels look heavy and blunt. Not what I'd like to see on a Viggen. I like the chunky look of the original 9-5 Aero wheels, and I like all the 16" three-spokes to come on 9000s, but these thick, rounded five spokes just don't do the car any favors, IMHO. Also, their offset looks a tad small too.
To each their own, which is what makes life interesting.
