yup need some pics. also will they stand behind the chrome and if so for how long? chromed aluminum tends not to last as long as other metals so it would be interesting to see how they back it up

For some reason the pics wont down load. The wheels are factory wheels that are chrome.

All I can say is what I said before, I hope they make a better job of the Chromeum plating. The second photo looks rough in the first place or is just the light

Does look very rough between the spokes, didn't notice that before. I don't like those wheels the way they come stock on the America but they don't look half bad chromed but if they are rough between the spokes as it appears they are that ruins it in my opinion.

I didn't catch it Ray pointed it out in the post just before mine.I have to say for what they charge for those wheels if they came through rough like that I would be extremely angry.

Hopefully it's just the lighting....
But I still don't like them. "Conestoga" comes to mind.

However, notice they didn't chrome the surface where the rotor mounts? That's a good thing...

It's not the lighting, they are rough in between the spokes. It didn't really bother me until everyone pointed it out. Now I go straight to it every time I see them.

At least with the chrome valve cover, it's rough where you really don't see it. I think chrome wheels would be great if I have to give up my laced wheels, but I hope they completely finish all the wheel you see.
