I had KMC's before my Centerlines and there is no comparison. My friends and I started calling them KMart Chrome. They were the worst quality and crap chrome that flaked faded and completely wore off in some spots. My Centerlines are much lighter and Im very pleased with them in every aspect.

I went to the tire shop yesterday, and i must say the rim was very nice. Yet they didnt come close to tucking and they only come in one offset. So now im going to go with these. Its a very simple, yet clean wheel and i think it will look great with the Baer Brakes.

I like that rim too....I think that is american racing.

So centerlines it is for me then....anybody think I should powder coat them black? My truck is a daily driver, and I know how much of a pain it is to keep aluminum polished. The new mother's powerball works pretty well though, so that should help out.

Maybe get a clear powder coat to protect them. I hate polishing my wheels, even with the power ball. But polished aluminum does look better than chrome.
