[s-cars] yet another rim question...

[DOUGLAS LANDAETA]

Tom,

I saves some $$ on my OEM refinish by not doing the backside - looks
good to me - still cost $$$, though. My reasoning to refinish is that
these wheels will fit over big brakes and, I think, have a lower
weight, and still the needed strength, than a similarly looking and
fitting new wheel - that is if you are staying 16".
