Default Forged polished clear wheels

I am trying to work a deal with CW4L on some forged polished clear wheels. I am hoping to solve my bent rim problems. I wanted chrome wheels but they do not make them. They have these polished clear wheels that look super good and gives you the chrome look. . They are kind of spendy but it looks like a lot more work has to go into the making.. Anyone have any info on these wheels? Now before anyone says get black ones You know the forum is split 50/50 on chrome and black. I know its a long shot on the forum But I thought I would ask if anyone has these wheels.

Do you have a model number or picture of the wheels? And, approximate price would be appreciated.(PM)

Am in the same boat as you are on bent wheels.

Thanks

I asked the people at CW4l to post a picture. If not I can try and get picture from my email.

Happy New Year!!

This is what polished clear looks like on a forged wheel, resembles chrome without it being probe to oxidation or any flaking, peeling or pitting. If you have any questions please call/text 440-915-6166.

This finish can be done on any of our wheels so picture is just to show a picture of finish!

I have a set of HRE P40 Brushed Alum with Tinted Clearcoat that I purchased from you about 3 years ago.

The rims are still in mint shape, but I was wondering if they can be shipped back to HRE for a full high polish / clear coat finish?

As Gerry from C4WL mentioned you can choose Polished Clear on almost any custom forged aftermarket wheel. Rotiform is the only premium aftermarket brand that I am aware of that still offers chrome finishes. HRE P200's in Polished Clear (top), HRE S204's with Polished Clear Centers & Polished Red Barrels (middle) and Chrome Rotiform's (bottom) pictured below:

I bought a set of Fikse FM10s in 1995 from the Fikse's while they were still building wheels in Seattle and they were in a polished cleared finish. Those wheels are 23 years old now and still in great shape. A great finish that holds up well. I can't imagine that a chromed wheel would have held up so well.
