Many feel that the finish is poor from the factory. Structurally the wheels are fine.

They have a milky finish. Not sure if it was corrected on 07's or not.

The finish has started to come off of my polished wheels. You would think giving $1300.00 for this option, and only after 20,000 miles, this would not happen.
