Evo owners please look inside I ordered some wheels similar to the evo's but in chrome made by RPM (turns out they are on back order so I think I am going to cancel my order). I really like chrome as it is really easy to clean and low maintinance but evo's arent made in chrome for our cars. I was wondering does the Hypersilver have a clear coat over it or are they polished? I know the lip is polished. HOW HARD THEY ARE TO CLEAN? I really want some low maintinance wheels that will look great. Any input would be great. Thanks.
Check these ones out they might be your answer: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-AD...QQcmdZViewItem

I saw them I dont think they look as good. I also emailed the guy a while back and the lip is only like an inch. The Evo's or RPM I was gonna get have 2 inch lip up front and 3 inches in the back. I really just want to know if the Evo's are high maintinance wheels?
try here Only chrome I found were in 19x8.5 & 19x9.5....I have the same sizes on my car, just in black w/ polished lip. I also ordered from this same company and was pleased with the service. Hope this helps.

Evos are made in chrome you just have to call Hp themselves and they will make them any how you want them. Make sure to call them direct. I saw some on a trans am that were orange powder coated centers with a chrome lip on them that they did for a guy.

The Chrome ones were on the site for a while. But they told me a few weeks ago that they didnt have them in our lug pattern. Maybe they realized the market and the demand for chrome rather than hypersilver also the fact that us LSX people love to drop mad money into our cars.
BTW there are two options for painted Evo's:
1. If you get them in a Hypersilver or Hyperdark finish, the entire wheel is clearcoated.
2. You can get them in the "Lightning S.S" version where the face of the wheel is painted with the hyper finish and the lip of the wheel is stainless steel. The stainless steel looks as good as chrome and doesn't require clearcoat but makes the wheel slightly heavier.

There's a tad bit more to making these wheels bling than just stripping the clearcoat off and hitting it with a Mother's Powerball...

$200 per rim. They charge slightly more if your wheels are chromed, because they have to strip the chrome in that area off before they can weld it. They have no limit on how wide they can go.
