Title: Show quality OEM steel wheels on CL
Post by: Grumblebuns on Sunday,January 07, 2018, 12:11:36 PM

Around $200/wheel but appears to have been fully restored. With the cost of chroming and labor nowadays, price sounds reasonable. The beauty rings don't appear to be included.

Joji, I looked pretty closely at the pictures of the wheels and hub caps, and I'd say they put a quick coat of paint on them. They don't look like they were bead blasted or really cleaned up before painting. The hub caps are in just ok condition. That's a lot of money for the set if you ask me (and I know you weren't!). :)

quickie tape and paint job, clearly evident when you zoom in.   see the over spray around the rim onto the tire itself?   decent enough for a driver though.  Why not $793 dollars?? :)

You guys have better eyeballs than I have, never noticed the shortcomings.
