Winter Wheels: Steel Vs. Alloy
#6
I thought a lot of ppl knew this. Those awful fancy chrysler rims with the plastic coated alloy, well that alloy rots out from inbehind it after a year lol. All chrome coating does the same, starts from the hub were most the of the moisture and vibration is, slowly disappearing. When I did tire work, I would always grind down the lips of the rim where the two beads sit on because I tell you some of them were just f***ed. Some customers had to buy new rims, they were so bad. In other cases I had to put bead sealer on the beads of the tire then mount up because the I knew the rim wasn't going to last another year, but some ppl don't have money and are on a low budget. You can only work with what you got.
