Default gotta wheel question? Anyone?

Hey I'm looking to buy a set of wheels that has a stainless steel lip on it and was wondering what's people's preference on the finish of their lip and is stainless steel hard to maintain as in will it scratch easy or dull easy pretty is it easy to up keep or not????

Everything is easy to keep if you want it bad enough, buy wheels that you like unless you have wheels you like equally then show us a poll. I myself like Chrome, stainless, machine all of it as long as I like the rim thats all that matters. As far as up keep I would say polished aluminum is the hardest and it gets easier from there. My stainless lips where easy to keep up if you want my opinion. GL

Some of the wheels with stainless steel lips are chrome plated and some are just bare stainless. From my experience they are pretty low maintanence and easi to clean. But if you curb it you're fuct. The reim cannot be repaired and will need to be replaced

If you like the Rohana RL10 you might as well get the new Roderick wheel made for Lexus. Its the same wheel as the Rohana except the Roderick wheels are bored out to 66.1 so they are hubcentric for Lexus and Toyota and they accept the Lexus center cap

Shoot those are sick how do I go about ordering them? Do they have a number I can call cuz I hate having to order something just thru the net I mean if imma spend that much money on something I would like to actually speak to a person instead of the computer I guess it'll just give me a piece of mind if I'm able to talk to somebody about it before I order
