Be careful and inspect the runout on your wheel to see if the wheel is perfectly straight before you send them off. They ended up charging me for a new wheel on my C5 since they already had my CC and they said that the wheel was not straight. It was not worth having them ship everything back to me at that point. I was not happy.

To gilly6993: WCC exchanges your wheels with other wheels they have already chromed and checked. If the curb rash you speak of is too bad, WCC will charge you extra money so that wheel can be repaired before being chromed. As as example, they might charge you 50 bucks extra because you have one wheel with rash.

quickride: Thanks for the link to the other thread.
I am facing the same issue. QX3 may be available next week when my order goes in. For $2000, I think WCC exchange program is a better option. I had the polished wheels on my 2005 and they were a rip off. Wish I had seen them before I ordered.

By the way, anyone interested in a set of stock aluminum wheels off a '97 F-150 pickup - yeah, I didn't think so. These wheels have been sitting in my storage area now for nine years.
