been to gforce today just to see come wheels in the flesh, anyway as soon as the guy noticed i was looking at chrome wheels he warned me off them straight away, he reckons after about 4 month the chrome would start falling off?  sounds like bull to me just wondering if anyone knows if this is true, i know if i get a stone chipping or kurb it its going to corode like any other wheel if i dont sort it but he reckons they will only last 4 months?
Cheers,
JW

i think that chrome wheels arent sui6ed for our roads cos of salt content or somethin??
there was an article in max last month i think with some guy who owns mods-direct and he had 19" chrome jobbies. he said that with chrome wheels u get what u pay 4 (asif they didnt cost enough as it is) but he kept his car under a tarpaulin cover and washed his wheels regularly. aparantly they will last if u give them lots of attention
