I don't mean to rain on ur parade dude, but be VERY careful with the Chrome care with those.
I had set of BSA chromies, & within a month they had shitloads of stone chips, & after about 3mnths these had spread& peeled to the size of 50c peices. :(
When I sent them back to BSA in NSW,after MUCh arguement with the barely english-speaking receptionist who refused to let me speak to anyone of Authority, they replaced 2, refused 1 (the worst 1) because it had a slight impact mark (from a rock), & refused the other because they said I had used an "ABRASIVE" cleaner :badgrin: ... when I got it back it looked like someone had taken to it with a Steel Wool... quite interesting since all I had EVER cleaned it with was the clean sponge & carwash I use on my paintwork! :oops:
As a result I got stuck with the $110 freight charge also!
Sorry if I scared u, but just be very wary of that mob... :?

gonna have to agree with you.
My 17 inch 8 spoke BSA rims have a misty chrome finish to them, and not long ago i was washing my car and noticed a bit of the chrome gone, i shot it with the hose and heaps more came off
..GONE..

soothers: They aint TH Sports rims.. :p
Nice choice of rims.. just take care of your rims with proper chrome rim cleaner and also.. don't go shooting water at them like what TZABOY is saying.. he stripped off a lil extra.. so just in case anything happens.. keep em clean!

i have also tried a thing a friend of mine told me!
if it's real chrome it should feel cold when u touch it no matter if they were in the sun or not (of course not after you had serious brake work)
whereas chromed dipped have a sort of warmish feel!!!
i have tried it for myself and i have to say it's quite true!!!!

Waaa chrome... :evil:
The best chrome wheels are from America. The ones made in Asia are
crap and chip very easily.
