Dunno about the 20's but I have been running a set of 15 inch Billet star centerlines for 6 years and as long as they're polished they still look like new.

That company sure has been around a long time. That has to say something. I don't own a set but I like some of the styles. A friend of mine broke the center out of a cast aluminum centerline while doing some heavy duty 4 wheeling but I think it was a case of serious driver abuse.

Centerline wheels are very good quality, and VERY strong. If you get the billet series, opt for chrome. The only problem with Centerline wheels is they are hard to shine once they finally get dull because they are much harder than most wheels....

The only personal experience I have with them is the wheels on my Chevelle - Auto Drags. I've heard other people having trouble. The wheels showing up with flaws from probably from manufacturing and then getting no help from their customer service. Of course that's just what I've heard.

Question

I just bought some 18"s for myself for Christmas. I got 'em off the Centerline website "wheeldeals" page. They arrived and they are first quality... Saved a bunch, too. The guy said they retailed for $450 each, I got 'em for $169 ea and a flat $70 for shipping. Now if I can just find the same sort of thing for the tires...

On my other truck I used to have centerlines and I thought they were very good wheels. No complaints here!

I have owned a set and was very happy with them. I was told by a guy in the wheel business that they have the best finish of all the polished wheels!
