Default Best Quality Chrome Wheels ?

I'm sure I'll get many opinions with this but what the hell.
I am curious to read opinions based on experience with different manufacturers chrome wheel quality. I'd bet all companies buy the raw billet from one of two suppliers. Once in house, they do their thing with their CNC machines etc and then to the final process of chrome. I've seen some really crap chrome and on the other extreme, some chrome that looks great after years of use and of course, maintenance. But if you don't receive a quality product for the high dollars we put out, what looks damn nice initially make look like pure crap in a year or two.

That being said, is it PM, Ness, Weld Racing or.......?
Share your experiences as I am curious to read about the good, the bad and the ugly. I am pretty much set on Fat Daddy 50 stainless spokes but have my eye on one or two pretty sharp billet wheels. But quality is very important to me. I work hard for my pennies and don't want to throw good money after bad.

Thanks,
Boogey Man
