Quote: Buy a set of new wheels instead. thats a warlock and is supposed to have those chrome slots on it. maybe he wants to put it back to stock. i heard a while back that those wheels are expensive to have redone. they are two piece if original.

I can these rims that are on it right now for around $40 each. I wonder how there able to sell these rims so cheap if it cost so much to get them chrome plated? 5296439-DSCN2691.JPG (142 downloads)
