With the current shortage on Chrome wheels, I am looking at the possibility of buying 3rd party chrome wheels. I've searched most of sky roadster for info and have found bits and pieces, but am looking for current information on size and sources on the net. It would be great if someone could add to this thread the exact spec on the wheels. Size, offset, width, bolt pattern. I have seen some wheel dealers offering different sizes for the Sky and are saying it wont matter. Yea, right! Also, I know KappaSphere offers one wheel - we don't have to go over that again.
Also, what would be the best wheel to buy (if chrome is not available) painted or brushed - to sell later on ebay or here! I've seen some of the Solstice guys selling painted for about $450 a set. Would getting brushes be easier to sell? At what price? People are damaging their wheels on curbs. Would you sell one at a time?
I also would like to know the forged - cast issue and the difference between regular and lightweight racing wheels.
This could be a nice thread of information all in one place that others could use later to help make up their minds.
Thanks to all. Please contribute what you can.
