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
