These Are My New Rims!!

[94GTLaserRC]

Thanks Paul...I know youre the expert on this since you have done so much wheel research before you finally bought
I will tell you that my current chromers were bought in 1996. The ONLY flaking is where the tire weights were attached. NOW, there is some pitting on a couple rims where the double bars meet the outer lip...Im sure that is from the rain down here. Im assuming the chroming methods are better now than 8 years ago.

Anyway, For $800, you cant really complain if you get 6-7 years out of the rims. As far as the body kit, the next time I paint the car, Im LOSING it, and just getting an RR SVO hood like Oinks...That said, I think either rim would look good, but that may take a couple of years more.

I think tho, I may go with the ARE's, since as you put, they are less common.

IM still just waiting to find a pic of them showing a good angle of the deep dish.
Thanks again.

If any of you guys get the brother performance catalog, check out the front cover of it. It has a fine ass girl on it, and she is on a stang. Look at the rims on the stang, they look pretty bad ass to me.

I've tried every product I can find that polishes/cleans aluminum and I cannot get the stains out. I have never had a chrome wheel flake off. If it is made by a decent company it shouldnt flake off if you take care of it.
I'm going to end up getting my wheels powercoated so that the finish will outlast my car.

I've had a similar experience with a set of weld draglites. I had them on my last car over the winter, and never polished them in that time (i'm lazy).
When it came time to get them looking good again i had to polish each wheel for HOURS to get the black "stains" out of them. I personally will never buy wheels again that need to be polished all of the time like that.

Paul...
I just went back and noticed something:

If you look at the 17" rims auction (first link), There is NO OPTION for 10" wide rims..

If you look at the 18" rims auction (second link) you'll see there IS ONE.

If I cant get these rims in the WIDE BACKS, I think Ill have to go with the Bullets...I want the Wide backs, but I DONT want 18" rims.... DAMN!!

BAD NEWS: The seller of those ARE's on Ebay Emailed me back that they DO NOT have the 17's any wider than 9"

AND:
The "wheel special" on the chrome bullets at wheelreplicas.com ended..They are back up to $949 plus shipping!
