Anyone I've ever talked to there was courteous and very knowledgeable about their products. They took the time to spell out everything. This is why I want to give them my business. Unbelievable customer service that you just can't find everywhere today.

Thanks Dave. Not sure if I'll get the entire package right now. We deal with a local tire place that gives us some pretty good discounts and TomZ's is also having a tire sale as well. But I can assure you that these puppies will be on for our trip in April...

Can you PM me some info on what you have to polish them. I have been using mothers and mine look good but I know they can look better.

Thanks

Great choice in wheels. One thing to consider are you planning to up grade your brakes to a BIG BRAKE package. If so mention it to John or Chris. They need to set you up with a special off set. I have the Chrome 505As with the strandard off set and now I want to up grade my Brakes to the 6 piston system and there is not enought space between the wheel and the calipers. So I can notr do the up grade. I was not aware of this at the time of purchase.
Enjoy the wheels

Thanks Fred... Good info to know... Not sure if I would go that route. If anything maybe down the line I'd do 14" rotors from bear in the rear with stock calipers... But when I order them I will definitely check into that.
