Looks the business, polished centres dont look as tough as the ones you have, so good choice in that respect.

Meisters + dish = WIN.

Pure Sex mate, ive always wanted them but couldnt afford em... it was half the purchase price of my car the last time i looked at the set and i didnt want to risk importing them and finding out they didnt fit...

How much and where you snap up from???

Long time no speak Mako! Hows that sexy R1 of yours doing? I got the Meisters from an importer in VIC that picked them up in Japan before the dollar went tumbling down. Paid $2500 without tyres. Reasonable price, but I'm sure he made a bit of coin from me, I think it's fair though (haggled down from 3k). Did a fair bit of research on what fits & what doesn't, so I wasn't too concerned there.

I was gonna buy a new set of GT-C Face1's direct from Japan, it would've been almost double the price I paid for the Meisters now [xx(] Couldn't justify that simply on principal.

"312kw @ the chrome wheels"

LIES!

Well, the lip is still ~20% chromium...

Lips are chromed? I don't think so. Generally most japs are a clear anodized aluminium. At least in the way of Rays.

I figured they'd be stainless steel, in which case they would contain chromium (obviously not chrome plated though). If that's wrong then my mistake.

I've got a set of rays two-piece wheels at home, sounds like I'm going to have to take a closer look.

Don't forget to brush up on basic chemistry. I HATED that subject.....

Chromium or not, I'll change my sig soon enough

I don't think it's chemistry so much as simply knowing what the hell things are made of.

I had presumed that, apart from the ability to use one centre with a number of rim widths (and one set of rims for a number of centre styles), the other reason was so that a nice shiny and tough spun (stainless) steel rim could be used, but I imagine weight might be a good reason not to do so. Anyway, sorry to drag this off topic...

Edit: Chem was my best subject in yr12.

There was enough to scare me [xx(] Anyway, I do believe they're polished stainless steel, but could be wrong.
