Finally after 6 weeks-pics of my chrome 19" RO_JA wheels. (Long Story)
I traded my magnesiums + cash to ccajun4real for his 19" RoJa wheels before he sold his car. FEDEX gashed 2 of the wheels during shipment very badly. Then, after spending a week picking them back up and "inspecting" them, said they would not honor the insurance due to bad packaging. They were packaged very well and you could see the gashes through the packaging where someone was very careless. After spending another week arguing with FEDSUX, I mean FEDEX, I descided to send the whole set to Wheel Concepts in Cali to get repaired and chromed. I delt with a moron named Larry who basically forgot about the wheels. This whole "7 day turn around process" turned into about 3 weeks. I am happy to say that the chroming turned out great and the wheels look good.
Being on jack stands for 6 weeks did give me time to do a few mods - cleared front parking lenses - instruction thanks to c5fredrick & sebringsilver97coupe, remote radar detector install, flush mounted tail lights, cleaned/detailed the fender wells and changed to clear bulbs for DRLs/turns. (pics below)

Wow!!!!
I have seen pictures of those wheels on Mike99Corvette and Cajun4Real ... They did not look that nice but it is a different story when you got them chromed!
Very nice!
Congrat on the new killer look!
BTW, what tire brand and size are you running for the rears?

CAMN SS: If the search function is working, it should show a number of posts related to clear parking lights that a number of us have done here.
If you find nothing, let me know and I can tell you how to do it, as can the others mentioned above.
All the best.
