wheel question
Do you guys like the 15-spoke polished aluminum wheels? are they worth the 1500? or should I go with the machined-face aluminum wheels and get aftermarket wheels later?

2. Cast wheels are made in China, and they certainly live up to the Chinese high standards. lol
3. You can always buy new car take-offs at a much lower price than new. They are regularly posted on craigslist.
4. Do you homework and due diligence when buying any wheels.
5. Have a tire shop spin them for "straight and true." Only cost is a dozen tacos.
6. I personally prefer polished alum. Chrome rims tend to flake off with time. Ask a tire/wheel shop.
7. You can probably locate used 'perfect' polished alum wheels for $600 to $1000 per set.
