because they are not chrome. So there are only a few people that actually appreciate the current look. I personally like them...but I feel they are missing that eye catching "look"...I dunno. I just want my car too stand out at car shows I guess.

My wheel shop sends it back to get refinished from the company and sends it to one of their shops to get chromed/polished. My wheels will be visiting both.

I've been through it...never chrome again.
