Also, I agree that it will be a shame if Dronnel drops out before leaving their mark on the industry....Knock off designs or not, the quality is good... Tiny

I just placed an order for TrafficStar DTS in 19's.I'll post a picture of them when they get here. It'll be @ 3weeks because they didnt have the chrome finish that i wanted so they're hooking up a new set for me.
I'll ask about the 10 inch width the next time I talk to them...should be around a week for an update on my wheels.

Yeah, I posted that about Japanese chrome...most Japanese chrome that I've seen looks more like a chrom "film" rather than American style chrome dipping. I'm sure of the exact process but I have seen Japanese chrome BUBBLE. NOT CHIP, but BUBBLE.

I had my Volk Challenges custom chromed and they were one of the best chroming jobs I have ever seen. The sides were textured, with the outer spokes smooth chrome. Since then, they have stopped chroming Volk Racing wheels, but they were incredible.
