Default Chrome wheels on ebay

Hey guys!

I'm looking into a set of chrome fatboy wheels on ebay. I found a chrome exchange set for 499$. The company is Excaliber plating and polishing. Anyone ever purchased from these guys? I want to know if the quality is good.. I dont want the wheels to blister and flake, thank you!!

Joe

I guess I should have said "factory coating"....They ones you are showing look great, take the leap.

I would ask if it is show chrome or commercial chrome. It used to be years ago the show chrome was thinner..the commecial not as "gloss" but long lasting. Maybe things are different nowadays.
