Seriously considering a set off 17" Susuka 2 alloy wheels for my wifes Hyundai coupe, I see that these particular wheels are also available in a chrome finish, anyone here owned a set off chrome finish susuka alloys before, just wonder how well the final finish lasts before they start peeling ??

p.s was going to go for BK121 alloys in this chrome finish but been advised by the local alloy wheel centre that there are serious issues with the chrome finish with thse particular alloys.

Ive heard BK are particulary bad for peeling (Ask Stevegreetham off here, he had the chrome bk299s)

Mine are getting a bit fucked now, you gotta take amazing care of them. Personally i wouldnt get chromes again
