Every set of chrome wheels Ive had on a car have rusted quickly . Not any particular make , just any . I would go for nice alloys instead .

i agree with rick i had a set of chromes last year and they are now rusted to hell so i am just going to get my old alloys tarted up and use them

yep, agrre with everone else. i've had my chrome rims on now for over a year and they have started to rust.

these are chrome 8 spokes with bfg muds 31x10.5x15 & 2" lift.

once you have been off roading a few times and put a few dings in them you dont notice the rust so much!!

cheers scotty

Alloys it is then.

Alloys it is then.

Just our experiances of chromes , if you want chromes get them . If you want alloys Bensonsnuts (Geoff) has some with near new tyres on . Under parts for sale .

Buy the chrome rims, before fitting tyres, get them clearcoated.

Similarly- if you buy white steel wheels it's no effort to give them 3-4 coats of laquer before fitting. Keeps the rust at bay for a few years.

[BUSHWHACKER]
