Well I need your thoughts. I looked at a whole bunch of diffrent rims but settled on these ones. They are the stock rims that came with my 1990 benz but chromed. I should get them in about 10 days. I paid $740.00 US landed to my door. What do you all think??

The risk you run with any chromed wheels from an unknown source is that you don't know if the chroming is done right. Bad chroming will start to peel quickly (within a year). Good chroming will last many years. Chroming usually adds about $100-150/wheel. Just like painting, a good chrome job is not about coverage and how it looks when brand new...it's about preparation of the surface in a multi-step process...any step skipped or done wrong and you've wasted your money. Rechroming to repair chromed rims is far more expensive then chroming an unchromed one.
