RE: [DML] Doing the sums on Don Steger's chrome wheels.



I am running Don's chrome wheels on my car.  They cost
me $800 exchange. (You get your core charge back - the
rims cost $800!!!! ) Price from other vendors for
"resurfacing/polishing" 4 rims was almost identical.  


My rims look awesome and I consider it money well
spent.  

Replacement grooved hoods are rare, with or without
gas cap flaps. Be prepared to dig very deep if thatis
what you must have. D
For what it is worth, I have ordered parts from don,
Rob and Houston.  I have never noticed any difference
in the service.  It has all been good.
