I'm no chrome genius or anything so I can't say whether it's method or material based but it looks kinda cheap. I have a guy who parks in front of my house all the time with a grey Jetta and even my wife commented the chrome job looks kinda budget. I figure that if a 7 month pregnant woman towing a 2.5 year old around can notice that.......

Well, no $hit sherlock. I have seen them myself and that's what I'm saying. The chrome looks cheap in person. Yes the same rims. Look, if you want a pat on the back and attaboy just go buy em and post your pics when you're done. Don't ask for opinions and then get chippy with me and kenchan for posting in response.

Look at the picture of this whopper. Now tell me, does the product in the photo look exactly like it does when you buy it in real life? The chrome on those rims looks ripply and cheap a$$. I've seen 'em. In person. 4-5 days per week. Give me the benefit of the doubt that I am smart enough to figure out if they are the same rims or not. You don't need to agree. Just don't be a smarta$$.

Bro, what is wrong with you. i dont doubt they are a dif rim but when you compare a rim in a pic and a goddam whopper, much more do a search for a burger then paste it on the forum, well that to me tels me, you need to preocupy yourself with other things more often. agree? RX
