Chrome vs Polished Alloy
I am buying some new wheels and wondering if the ProComp Chrome wheels are any different than the ProComp polished alloys for maintaining the finish and not pitting. Are the new chromes all right now? I live in MN so snow / salt is a factor. -Thx.

Are you talking chromed steel, or chromed aluminum? In my experience, chromed aluminum likes to peel. Chromed steel works great if its a high quality dip. Otherwise you will get some rust with all that salt.
The polished aluminum wheels have a clear coat on them (or the better ones do anyway). But if you really want a wheel that will stand up, get one that is anodized. Unless you get a deep scratch, they will hold up for ever (almost). |
You could allways take them off in the salt season. That is what I use to do when I had some Weld Racing Rims on my truck.

Its one of the reasons I went with black wheels this time around, but I still keep these clean too to prevent wear. |
if budget permits get some second hand steel wheels for offroad. Thats what I am gona do get some beadlock wheels and not worry about legal issues or alignment issues etc just bash them.
