I dont think i would put $800 rims on MY truck, i'd rather spend a little cash now ($600), wait until i find the right 22" or 24" rim. After all, i'm sure i can sell those puppies on ebay when im done with them for damn close to $600, if not more. I think after a year or so the prices of large rims will drop, they are RIDICULOUSLY HIGH right now.

D, I bought some Centerlines off their website at a good price. They offer a "high polish" which shines a lot like chrome. I dont know how it would hold up in the Motor City though. My wheels are high polish and have held up very well but here in TX we experience road salt and sand no more than 3 or 4 times in the winter.

Yeah, it's too bad I'm in MI... Polished AL & Detroit DO NOT mix. Salt is on the road for about 4-5 months.... it's crazy. I've actually owned polished wheels before, and vowed to never get them again.
I like how they have the luster warranty but state if salt touches them the warranty is off... nice!
Think I'm gonna have to start hunting out local chrome shops... detroit has GOT to have a good one around with all this bling bling folks have..
