Need a Decent Place to View 'Non-Pimp' Wheels
 
Contemplating ditching my 20" KMC's since they've:

A) Discontinued the version with the machined lip...and

B) As several people have found out, have clearcoat that peels like an Irishman in the sun

I'm looking for a decent site that would have a good selection of 'non-pimp' (read chrome...chrome anything in Colorado looks like **** in no time with the mag chloride on the roads regardless of how well it's taken care of) wheels in a 20" size...looking for something KMC Backseat 'like' in a black. Don't dig the Rockstars, don't dig the black teflon whatevers...

Just need a site with a good selection of H2 wheels.

Errr.... really?! Crap, I have the same wheels in a 22" I try to polish the machined lip every so often. You know thwy have the same black wheel available with a polished lip instead of the machined lip.

You can polish but the clear coat will eventually start to peel, which is why they went to the polished lip. The polished lip, as it turns out, is actually a polished stainless sleeve that is 'press-fit' over the machined lip. The issue with the polished lips is they eventually work loose a bit making the wheel look like it's wobbling. KMC rules!
