Steve,

The wheels have never been on my van. I bought them from a list member, and they came with a little curb damage and the usual assortment of scrapes. I had been waiting until I bought new tires to put them on my van. Since I got a little unexpected money recently, I also decided to get them redone. I'm really glad I did.

They do look stock, like I just bought them from the dealer. The clear coat isn't noticible. The wheels have a wonderful subtle silvery glitter, which looks right.

I'll probably get tires and have them put on in a few weeks. If you want, we could get together then so you can check them out.

Ron
