the price is right and not bad looking. Tires look shot tho...never heard of Stern, but that doesn't mean anything.

I've been looking since I found out 2 of my Cobalt SS wheels had a slight bend in them. Not noticible while driving, but been looking anyway. Tires not an issue as my DWS's still have aobut 90% tread left. Just not wanting a heavy wheel to put on. And I imagine these are cast. But still considering......

I had a set of these on the goat they were decent, the chrome on them started to peel in the corners so I powder coated them black and sold them.

After doing some online looking yesterday, I found several that had peeling issues and the seller told me yesterday there were some bad spots on the chrome mostly on the back side.

I'll stick with the Cobalts for now......
