Well, this is the thing ... whomever buys them might not care and would prefer the discount, or they might care and do it themselves. The only reason to fix them myself is if I decide to keep them, otherwise I think I would be limiting further an already small market for wheels this expensive.

Nice choices!!! I'd say middle or bottom! I like both of those :D Do you know the name of the bottom one? Those look really clean.

Nice looking rim! A little pricey for my blood but definitely looks really nice! Like Felix and I said that middle one looks really good too. Can't go wrong with either one of those two.

Have you tried listing your Enkei's up on Craigslist?

One that I'd like for mine is the CK948 if I could find them for the same price as I can the LTZ rims. They remind me of the American Racing Torq Thrust II rims.

So I found this place somewhat near me: http://www.sharperimagears.com/wheel_repair_8.html

They have something called "Simulated Chrome Coating" which supposedly repairs chrome wheels without the need for new plating ... sounds rather dubious to me. So I thought I'd ask you guys if you've heard of this process and how effective it might be? :think:

I sent them an email a short while ago to inquire but they haven't gotten back to me yet.

Never heard of the process. If they have warranty for them and its not to expensive you should try it. Although I wouldnt of bother doing it if I was not going to keep the wheels myself.

Thanks.
