I ordered wheels from this company and had to wait six months to get them. I sent the wheels back a few times, because they could never get my order right. The problem is they only offer polished or chromed rims and they prep all the wheels so the cast portion and machined portion of the rim have the same surface finish. Their prepping process is very half-***, like some drunk guy took grinder to the wheel. Plus their customer service sucks, and they are very shady because they operate under two different company names. For the cost of the wheels, plus the painting and polishing cost, you can easily afford billet wheels that are have widths up to 10 or 11 inches. This is good to know when the aftermarket IROC wheels are only offered in 8 inch widths.

Something to think about.

I have heard tht same about them as well. Mr Iroc-Z can tell you that the wheels on his Roc where not the best finish and had spent extra to have them preofessionaly polished..... Would be nice to have a set of 18" Iroc wheels but I finaly decided to go with the Ronal wheels.

The difference between polished and chrome is that the chrome will have a deeper reflection. The chrome rim is a steel rim (I Think) dipped in a chrome solution so they are prone to pitting and rusting. It's a coating. The polished wheels have been compounded and buffed until they shine. They are still the raw material, just buffed.
