I decided against buying these wheels...
I have a friend in the "plating" business in CA. He told me aluminum wheels were far easier to un-chrome than steel. I guess the issue with steel is you have to remove the chrome...and then the nickel which is underneath needs to be polished, regardless whether you re-chrome or paint/powdercoat. And it is both very necessary and very time consuming.
I am not interested in ending up with $250-350 per wheel, regardless of the date stamp. I was looking for some 5.5 x 15 steelies to paint at a reasonable price. I can be patient. Repairing chromed wheels is possible, but not of interest to me. Thanks for all the feedback guys...your knowledge and resources are appreciated.
