Pro Comp Knight Khrome Wheels are JUNK
If you like the look of the Pro Comp Knight Khrome change your mind and run fast...these are the poorest quality wheels on the market for a ridiculous price.. I am on second set of these going on a third.. the finish peels off them like dry skin...upon getting my second set of wheels it took 11 try to match the correct shade and they all had the same part number...anyone else have this bullshit problem..

wow, not sure whats going on with your set. Mine are holding up just fine. Did you order yours or did you go to the store and get them? There is another member here that ordered them and they were mix matched in colors.
I guess I am lucky so far
Mind explaining and sharing pics of what your experiencing of the faulty rims?

I will have pics tonight..the first time the finish flaked off around were the tires meets the rim and the second is not 2 weeks old and upon washing i discovered the finish wore off to the black base with no curb rash. i went though some mud but i didnt spin them or get stuck..these wheels should hold up to some elements

I purchased these wheels though a store and they have been amazing with service.. i have not payed a dollar in shipping with all wheel mistakes..but the manager there spoke to a guy from pro comp and he said they are having problems with the powder coat lines with quality and shades.. and just today i went to a powder coating buisness and he explained to me that it seems that the wheels werent properly pretreated before coating

Yep Procomp told me they have a problem with matching between different batches, they shouldnt be selling these damn wheels , they know they can't match them. Then dealers like 4wheelparts wont exchange them even though they know there is a problem.

i have heard from another member where he bought five and only one is the true knight khrome..the shitty part that he will have to pay shipping for something that is not his mistake...i was in a similar situaton with gibson. a weld broke on my muffler and i had to pay shipping for them to send me a new one then i had pay shipping for me to return my busted ass muffler, in the end i was 90 bucks in the hole for something not my fault..

My JK came with a set of new Knight Chrome's. Two are dark, two are medium, and one just looks like regular chrome. I've yet to contact ProComp directly, but I'm not the original purchaser, and the previous owner lives about 1600 miles away. Unless ProComp turns out to be a VERY stand up company, I'm screwed.
Maybe I'll sand blast them and paint them a graphite gray color...
