I purchased four black chrome wheels and tires from wheel replicas in katy, tx about a year ago and the plating is now flaking off all four of my wheels. I took them up and showed them to him and he told me I used something abrasive to clean them so he couldnt warranty them anymore. Like I use damn sandpaper to clean my wheels. Never in my life have i seen something of oem quality look like this after a year. Hell I have a set of Oem wheels that are six years old and I clean them with the same stuff and they sure dont look like that. Personally I will never deal with these guys again, complete bull**** imo.

That sucks. I ordered my Chrome Bullits from American Muscle. I've had them since May 2008 and I've been stuck in the rain a few times and haven't cleaned them as much as I should and they are in perfect condition. They have a warrenty, but I forgot how long. It's either 90 day finish and 1 year structural or 1 year finish lifeteim structural...not sure.

Don't feel so bad. I have a set of 20" black, deep dish, american racing torq-thrusts and they are flaking too. At least you didn't pay what I did.

Damn bro that sucks... Those FR500's look like the same ones I was planning to purchase for my ride.

I was planning to purchase these later this year.
