I'm thinking of getting the TKO-500's 2-4th gears face plated.. anyone have experience with a face plated transmission?

I'm also still trying to decide if I should spend the money on the Brodix BBC Race Rite heads with the CNC combustion chamber or cheap out a little and go Pro Comp with good valvetrain parts.. I'd save a 1,000.00 if I used the procomps.. only sad part is they're made in china .. I've read some bad review but most are just smashing the fact that they are cast in China, I haven't actually seen more than 1 thread on a Pro Comp BBC head failure.. and the one I saw looked to be due to shaft rocker arms and the wrong length head bolts.. decisions decisions.. anyone have some intel on the matter? Experience with either head?

Oh.. and does anyone know where I can get some 15X10 (or a little wider) "Slot rims" in a 5x5 bolt pattern?
