I haven't even had these wheels for a month!!!

I'm gonna post some high res photos showing the damage.. Hopefully one of you will post a magical solution to restore the finish (right now i think my only option is to have the barrels stripped and chromed.

I wouldn't have them chromed........just get them stripped, nicely polished and Zoopsealed

Sorry to hear what happened. U'll be really happy after getting it stripped and polished. I have the same wheels.. looks 10x better than the original finish.

It's hard to capture the beauty of Diamond Black Volks. I've had this finish on a set of SF-Challenges and now on my current GT-S's. It's so much nicer than gloss black imo.

+1, they look great.

I would guess that it is easier to keep chrome lips clean, that it is to keep polished lips clean?

yea.. at first they tried to polish them... and I was like thanks for downgrading my wheels. then they chromed them and I was happy. it's a way more durable finish than anodized or polished.

How long have you had them back for?

I'm interested to see how the chrome finish holds up!

I have the lips polished on my OEM 19's, and it can be a pita to keep shiny with the salt in NY. I think chrome would be more durable and easier to keep clean than polished metal with no clear coat.

Where did you get the chrome work done? A similar situation happen to me at the Cerritos Infinity Dealership. They fvked up the lips on my iForged. Also plese PM me the cost to get the chrome work done. Thanks...
