After the first day of installation, the black paint in the center of the wheel started flaking off...alot. The other 3 wheels have this problem, just not as bad as this wheel. Piss poor quality.

The specs are dust on the rims from my garage, but the deep chrome is excellent. Rim size is 15X7 with 4.5 backspacing. Tire size is 255/60-15
