What wheels did you replace? I may be interested if you’re selling polished aluminum.

Sorry I just watched the video! 😬

Its pretty much the same wheel, the one you pointed out looks like German writing, so German company I guess. Mine are called Verona XO and they cost me $1,700 with free shipping and had them painted and baked for $150 by a buddy of mine.

Very very nice and Great price for painting!!!!! I am thinking about the same wheels for mine but I do not like the satin finish they come in. I got a quote from a local painter in Florida and just to clear in gloss is $600.00, not worth it for me so I'm still looking at other options.
