Default Contrast cut or COntrast PLatinum cut

I really like the chrome, but I also like the contrast cut. The Platinum is chrome and contrast right? Where as the regular contrast is not "shiny". What are you guy rockin with the platinum? Heathens? Luxe? I see my budget for wheels keeps climbing up

Platinum takes contrast cut a step further with a high polish finish.

I have the regular PM contrast cut. Platinum is when they polish out the machine finish...

I have seen a few called "fusion" which is powder coat and chrome. Anyone with the experience in these? Really sucks trying to find something when you cant see it in person

HD uses this process with their selection of cast wheels - transition is shabby & finish is prone to flake/peel.
Stick with forged billet, platinum cut!
