Opinions Please!!!! I"m looking to buy new thin spoke chrome wheels for my 99 Vert at Carlisle. Do I buy OEM rechromed or repro's. I'm not concerned about weight. I"m more concerned about quality. I don"t want peeling chrome or cracks. Which vendor do I buy them from?

Thanks
Mike

Here's a couple of choices for you.

Or

You really can't go wrong with either vendor. I'm sure others will offer up some more. I've done business with House of Wheels and the prices and delivery are very good.
