Well my chrome rims have started to pit, so i'm in need of x-type rims for the IS if anyone knows where i can get some, for a better price than 750 a rim, PLEASE let me know!!

 

buy aftermarket rims.

 

yeah, i thought about it, but i really like the x-types, is there anything that looks like them from the aftermarket guys?

 

these are the rims that are on my car. ASA ST3 19", but they make them in 18" too. Tirerack.com is having a blow out sale on this rim model. THey have them in chrome or alloy.

 

hm those don't look half bad, you said tirerack? that's even better cuz i get 20% off. THANKS!

 

y do u get 20% off?????? I want in on that

 

This guy is selling those wheels right now.

OMG thank you! thank you! I hope he'll ship them to me.

 

What does it mean when chrome rims pit?

 

basically one of the layers of the chroming starts to rust and the chrome peels off the rim, it happens to all chromes after a long time, since mine are 9 years old (the rims) it was bound to happen.

 

Wow, after 9 years I wont even have the car anymore, so I wont care, but man I hope my rims dont start that? So then chrome rim polish is a must huh?

 

oh and my friend works at a body shop and they get 20% off the tirerack prices on everything so he hooks me up

Definately, but i'm also in chicago so the weather gets to them really bad. The OEM chromes should last for about 7~10 years regardless

 

Alright, so whats everyones opinion on the best chrome polish to use? I have always been a fan of meguiars products, but do they even make a chrome polish?

 

I use Mother's Chrome Polish.

I use it for my car and motorcycle...

 

Yeah, well i just wanna eliminate the problem, get the 18 inch X-Type rims and be done with it, btw does anyone have pics of their IS with those rims? cuz i've been trying to look for them and haven't found any
