Message	I used spray wheel cleaner on them not knowing that it eats the clear coat away..The rims look like they are sunburned and peeling all over the place..They are great rims, look nice and weight is 12 lbs each but they look like ass.. Hence, either getting painted, chromed or pcd...I have been leaning towards pcd for obvious reasons ie-not too costly, lasts a lifetime, and looks good if the right color is chosen...Im not worried about the weight too much. I mean really. Its not like you are putting a gallon on each rim...
