remember the chromies?

Remember a few years ago i was trying to sell these chrome zenetti wheels that came with my car? I couldn't stand the chrome, well got them PC'd for a new look, not my favorite but it works for me now until i get replacements for my Forgestars that i destroyed.



Again, not my favorite look, but will hold me over till my next set of wheels comes in. So as soon as those come in, these will be for sale...
Orange County Plating did an excellent job, they call the color "reliable black" (satin finish, between a gloss and a matte)
19X8.5/9.5




here are the forgestar F14's that were rammed into a huge pothole, so i have 2 perfect wheels that were on the left side that are for sale, and the 2 on the right ill just give away as-is. I will post in the classifieds when i get a chance.

.......with the Zenetti's; they powdercoated them with the rivets in place? No flaking around the rivets?

yes, since they are faux rivets there was no option, no flaking as of yet, they did have issues after stripping the chrome then blasting them, the blasting media was getting stuck in and around the rivets, and then when they coated them the media would come out leaving a sandy texture, they had to strip and shoot them a 2nd time.
