Is it mandatory to create a new one after so many? I don't know the rules.

I'm not sure I will be able to at this rate of post-whore-dom! I've already gotten a PM from one of the mods.

Brantly you'll have to stay awake until this thread rolls over... You can't leave us in the dark over the holidays.

Those look really good, but there's not much of a lip there.

He probably has curb-rash the rim before and some shop try to polish it. And that's the problem with chrome lip, it gets scratches easily and almost impossible to remove....

Not very true.....

Remember the first set of Vosseen I had on the Z?? I actually curb-rash it in the summer, a long one....

Brought it to the shop, a good one, once they saw it's chrome, they shake their head and nothing can be done to restore to original.

They explained to me because the chrome is a from a plating process, and there's no way they can chrome-plated the rim again because they are not the factory, and buffing and polish can only remove the scratch and smoothed the surface, but there will be scuff-marks on the area.

Eventually they did it in front of me, smoothed the area, polish the lip, but yes, there's scuff marks.

But the scuff marks is so mild that you can barely see it...

Yeah thanks for the info. The wheels he's selling are polished, not chrome.

Gas pump prematurely ejaculated on my rear fender. Looks like she's getting bathed tonight.
