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.
