aftermarket rims Seriously!!!

I cannot believe how hard it's becoming to find a set of nice rims for my 95 Tracker it has factory sporty rims but they are pretty ordinary. I have checked with 3 different dealers in custom wheels and they said the 15 inche rims are basically for trailers now?? i would be happy with a set of nice chrome wagon wheels but the bigest problem is the 4.25 center hole for the lockouts anybody out there have better luck than me i even checked evil-bay??

Way to much to pay for a set of rims imo...

unless these wheels are triple plated they will rust in short order , as second link says.
triple plated is copper, nickle then chrome.
most china imports are chrome and chrome is porous and doomed to rust.
id avoid chrome and go painted. Unless you can afford real triple chromed rims.
IMHO,

ive done some restorations and this is a hard lesson to learn.
very disappointing it can be.
