my oldman has the alcoa durabrites on his pete. I tell you what you just wash them and they come up like you polished them for hrs. But if you are one of the un-lucky ones that still have to polish use the mothers ball that thing is very very good. We use it on the fuel and air tanks.

chrome only takes a minute to bring back to new again.



Chrome plated steel wheels are VERY prone to cracking, do a search on "Hydrogen embrittlement", it will explain the chroming process and why it makes the parts prone to cracking.

Most if not ALL sanctioning racing organizations, NHRA,NASCAR CART, etc BAN chrome plated suspension parts for this reason.

Chrome wheels....................BAD IDEA.

As far as weight aluminum whell is 60 pounds, steel is 90 pounds
