Do tell pweeze lol 
Tomzwheels?
Don't know too many people that would pay a grand for wheel, maybe a doper. $300 is about as high as I would go for a wheel. Like everything it comes down to budget. As far as you calling me cheap you know nothing about me and don't start making assumptions because I don't pay a grand for a wheel.
A) you're cheap or B) you're uneducated about why the wheels cost what they do. Do you think that companies just decide to charge those kind of prices for fun and their is no reason behind it? Shoot a pm to Nineball or any of the other wheel distributors and ask why forged wheels costs what they do. Some wheels cost the manufacturers themselves several thousand dollars to make.
Youre not getting NEAR that price for a used Forged wheel, let alone a brand new one. Not to mention that Fikse closed their doors.
Lets move on from this stupid issue of what rims cost. May I ask what you have on your pontiac? I am not a rim expert as you are, congratulations! As far as what I will pay-I have other obligations financially other than $4,000 wheel sets. I am, as many here are, glad we have someone of your caliber who can talk about cheap when this post wasn't about what a wheel costs. Shouldn't you be on a porsche or ferrari forum where money is no object. Done with this post. Thanks to you that stayed on topic and made suggestions about how to fix my problem.

Powder coating may solve your issue but look to pay about $500 - $600 for the set at a reputable shop. And make sure you get someone good because if they don't prep it right the powder coating will crack too.
My car is garaged too and I don't have AR factory chrome plating as mine we previously re-chromed by the previous owner but I never use anything but soap and water to clean them most of the time or glass cleaner if I am on the road. Maybe a lil car wax once in a while too.
Fisk is out of business, fwiw
PS: To the OP you would be amazed at what some of these guys pay for rims, IMHO

KicksZ28 - if you were asking about my pontiac thats a photochop of mine with Fikse FM5
Well, there affordable set was listed on the website as being closer to 300, but i'm sure that was for there smaller sized wheel.
Probly not, but either way like you said Fikse isnt even answering calls i dont know what happend to them.
