    Chrome Rims

    I have been shopping for new rims i want chrome i found oem wheels chromed by finishlinewheels.com but they are out of stock and canceled my order.

    Does anyone have a good source of chromed oem rims ?

    I did find boss 328 chromed wheels and i like them i know the stock rims have 50mm offset the boss has 40mm offset will they work?

    Also are the boss rims cast or forged ?


    i attached a pic of the boss 328

    THE BEST PRICE I FOUND SO FAR IS $236 AT http://www.bigwheels.net/index.php?l...l=328%20Chrome

    The only thing is looking at the boss wheel site whitch is part of american eagle they list they have the best pressure castings.

    since are stock wheels are forged i dont know if i want to try a cast but the load rating is 1580 lbs per wheel that should support the 4 corners of the mm

    I am not sure if i have the option to chrome my stock rims since my right front is smashed in over 2 " right were the bead of the tire seal and the outside is chipped , along with my back right is just chipped so i would need 2 rims to chrome than my other 2 stock ones.

    i do like the boss 328 that i posted a pic boss website says they use the highest quaility Counter Pressure Casting. so its not forged.

    does anyone know if a load rating of 1580lbs per rim is enough to support the mm and resist damage from roads?

    I am not certain of their current price, but if you mention Marauder, you will get the pricing hookup.

    I dropped them off at their doorstep, and it was 6 weeks to the day that I got them back.

    Shipping =

    I have cast after-market wheels from Konig.

    A load rating of nearly 1600 is actually greater then the load rating of most tires you'll buy for the car and should be sufficient.

    I have drag-raced, closed-track raced and drifted my MM with no issues. I have had to rear after-market rims widened with no issues.

    The 40mm offset will work PERFECT for the back (assuming an 8" rim). It WILL move the front wheel outward nearly 1/2 inch. It will be OK, but noticeable and will rub if lowered.

    I put a +45 7.5" (same outside lip location as stock) up front and a +40 8" (moving the lip almost 1/2" out) on back and the stance was perfect. I have since widened the rear 2" bringing the offset to +65 on a 10".

    Summary, I'd try to go with +50 on 8" up front or +45 on 7.5". +40 on 8" works great out back.
