Someone say chromed? (Circa '80s during the slopenose craze, though this photo is from when a $100 set of 7s & 9s became some track wheels in the mid '90s.)

I've heard that the plating process weakens the aluminum. Any truth in this? And no, I do not have chrome wheels nor do I have any interest in purchasing any, just curious.

Look around, and you'll see that bad taste in everything is everywhere. Another sweeping generalization

I totally agree with your comment about generalizations. If fact, I was going to say, "since we are engaging in vast generalizations,"....
In my opinion, the comment about CA's "proximity to Mexico" is another particularly unbecoming example.

This.
These wheels have a very high crack (failure) rate. Most cracks = ruined.
I think these are around $1,000 a piece +/- new even at WE's rate. Call and talk to them, I bet they'll be straight up about the cracking/failures.
Here is a set out this way for $500.
