The wheels are flawless and 3 years later they look as good as the day I put them on.
Oh and when I went to have the tires mounted and balanced, the guy said these were the most perfectly set of balanced wheels he has ever seen, both wheels took a 1/4 oz weight.
I'd be interest in knowing who the seller was for those rims... thanks!

I was just thinking(rarely do it), could one sell his stock wheels and buy a set of custom wheels and not come out with not a lot more invested and maybe a higher quality chrome wheel? Don't know how hard it is to sell stock wheels.

I would say Impress Chrome Plating CA, that's how they did my 28 spoke (6 steps), look great, no problems, 1 year now.

Thats it! Impress Plating. Also it wasnt called hard nickle plating he used but particle nickle. I need to correct that.
