Arrow Rcr 17" Brm ??

Hi All-

Does RCR finish the wheels if you want them painted etc.? What are they made of, alloy/ aluminum? Can the spokes be buffed if aluminum? Can they be chromed if wanted (although the spokes look like they are a sand cast)?
or, are these options up to the buyer through aftermarket shops?

It appears that the face of the wheel is buffed aluminum, and the spokes in a rough sand cast?

If a car were ordered with the 17" rims is there an extra charge for 17" tires? Can a tire of the buyers choice be used?

Re: Rcr 17" Brm ??

wah wah.....
I am having a hard time getting the original wheels replicated at a reasonable cost.....
Would anyone be interested in billet machined replica centers and bolt on rim halves????...bolts would be hidden on the backside of the rim.

Bolt on rims would also make widening the wheel a piece of cake rather than major surgery!

Someone PLEASE come to the table with an answer!

Re: Rcr 17" Brm ??

Here is another of the 15"x14 Rim with paint instead of polish... I will also do a set like BillD's as I like the look as well.
