4Wheel Parts/Steel Wheels

I`d steer clear of these wheels unless you don`t mind poor quality powder coating.I`d rather buy primed wheels than powder coated ones that need to be redone.I`ve bought 2 sets from them:One black Rock Crawler/one White Spoke.In both cases the set of mounted tires and wheels sat in my shop for a year or more until the truck was ready for mounting them.Both times the wheels had started to show rust before they were ever in the weather.My shop is dry.No,it ain`t the Mojave desert,but c`mon.My Harley has been kept there since`90 with chrome up the wazoo and hasn`t rusted.Not to mention it goes outside when I ride it,and sometimes in the rain.I know they`re cheaper wheels.But,I don`t want to hear,"You get what you pay for."I paid for steel wheels with a powder coat finish that should not rust sitting inside.The 9.75x16.5 OEM-types I have on my GMC were coated in`91 and have been outside the whole time.Before that,they were powder coated black and on another truck since`88,driven in winter salt.Before that,two of them were on my`71 NAPCO since the early 80s painted with rattle can paint.No rust yet.
