Default Chromed stock wheels?

Any dangers to this?? Is it to expensive?? They are talking 600 with wheels and shipping, and you have to send yours back in (with provided shipping). I really like how my wheels look, except that they are not chrome.

Also, I don't like how they don't have the stock inner piece with the horse on em, just a blank plate.

So is this a bad deal or what?? Is the chrome likely to come off?? I really want a wheel similar in wieght, and looks, to my stock wheel, only chrome, but I cannot find much in a 17 inch wheel that is under like 1000 bucks chrome.

Chrome wheels take a lot of time to keep clean. My brother has 20inch chrome on his car(dont ask) and brake dust has like burned on to his rims because he didnt clean them like every month. There still chromey but when you look at em closely its like ewww

Call them and see if they have them with the running horse logo. I know they don't have it in the pictures, but I'd bet they can have it for you.

As far as will the chrome come off, well, you cannot tell from the pictures. You can ask if they have had problems in the past or if they have customers you can contact.

Based on the pics, looks like a professional job all over. However, I'm no expert.

Uhh yeah, Just clean them once a week or so and it will be fine. I cant imagine leaving brake dust on my rims for more than a month. ewww is right.

I wouldn't do it. you have to pay $413(chrome)+200(shipping round trip)+$300(security)=$913 dollars you have to have in hand in that case they have a link that sells the rims without the exchange for $840 and you get to keep your rims for winter if you get snow.
