Damn...that's pretty stiff. I just paid $550 exchange for chrome wheels on my TT. Considering the simplicity of the Z wheel, it sounds like you might have over paid. Did that include some sort of clear coat after they were polished, or are you going to have to use elbow grease on a regular basiis to keep them nice? While polished looks like chrome initially, it takes regular upkeep to keep them shiny...go to long and they turn dull pretty quick.
