My two cents on this.
I had mine for about ten years. They were 14 in regular rims. I ran them on my 82 Camaro. I was able to keep them rust free for the most part for the majority of this time but the last couple years they started to Galvinize corrode. White dust on areas where the chrome started to peel off on the spoke area's. I used turtle wax polish on them all those years. The worse thing that happened was they warped on me. These rims can not take to much driving long distances. 12 hours here and 8 hours there. I warped them driving to Fallon NV. Would I buy them again? Yes, but I would use them for car shows or short in town or country drives where you just want to be in the car. I would never use them for everyday use again. Good post!!!
