Default new wheel
Received my new chrome wheel today, went to install the rotor and they chromed over the threads. The holes don't go all the way through and a regular tap can't go deep enough. Hope I can find a bottom tap tomorrow. Either that or send it back and be delayed a few more weeks. Got a hell of a deal on the wheel though.

Nice looking wheel. I am sure you will get it sorted out. What kind of wheel is that? Oh, and please don't forget to put a tire on it.

No big name brand, in fact they would not tell me the maker all they would tell me is it was made in the USA. For the price it was worth the risk.
