to the best place for anything fellow Ohioan! Maybe you can make it to our Cedar Point G2G in July!


No surprise on the country of origin...everything you look at is made in Asia somewhere!

We send them missles, they send us wheels. Problem is we pay for the wheels, they get the missles for free. I guess WE pay for the missles too now that I think about it.

On a related subject... can anyone tell me if these wheels are clearcoated or just polished alum.? If there is clear coat on them it isn't very detectable...

I am starting to notice some scratching (from my detail brush?) so i wanted to figure out what to do about that.

I dunno, maybe don't use the detail brush?
I just use car wash n water to clean my wheels. Wax 'em every so often too.

I'd bet a lot if not all of your scratches are under the clear coat. All of mine have scratches on them and they've never seen a brush. Even one of the wheels was replaced recently, the new one had scratches as well.

I guess in addition to sending the Taiwanese missiles we should send them some new buffing wheels too.

my wheels are the same, all 4 of them, so what do you suggest we do, since the replacement wheels have the same scratches?
