They are on the block, I will post in the Showroom section but wanted those who don't go there often to have a look see. I've got more pics if anyone is interested. Make me an offer. I'll probably toss them on Ebay sometime next week.

Dang, Chris... Only roll in here when you need some quick scratch?

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Miss you around here, man.

Hope all is well.

OK, I'll have to step-in to save these marvelously crafted, forged wheels from the ignominy of chrome. :eek:

I concur.

But I've been accused of having poor taste in cars before. :)

For extra shipping weight? :help

I think using someone else's tires is like wearing someone else's underwear after they have been worn by that someone else. Maybe not so bad if they haven't been on long, but better avoided due to personal wear characteristics.

Doesn't chroming the wheels weaken them?

I heard of a chroming process called spray chrome, they triple spray it and it is OEM quality, lifetime transferrable warranty.. Do some googling, i dont have the link handy.....

Brian. my tires only have about 9000 miles on them (new when i bought the car)

No wheel finish carries a lifetime warranty......

Any plated wheel will oxidize and leak air around the bead seat(that means corrosion underneath the precious chrome = junk)

Any polished wheel has no "finish" warranty after you buy it. They're warranted by the retailer if they come damaged out of the box, but that's it. No warranty to the consumer on wheels with a polished surface finish.

Any painted wheel can(will) sustain rock chips, or other debris damage. Exposing bare metal that will oxidize and corrode.

If you buy any wheel anywhere, you'll be lucky to get more than the run-of-the-mill 1 yr structural warranty. The manufacturer of some wheels often pitch a "lifetime structural" warranty, but that's usually it.

Elwesso, I'm sure there's something I'm not aware of...?
