I will agree with the finish (8 out of 10), but it is not noticeable unless you get close up and I figured with as cheap as I bought them for I will just repaint them once they get banged up a little.

I like waxing the hood. In fact, I usually give the hood a second coat

I like the replicas and for the price compared to new, you can't beat them!

I'm lucky enough to have gotten the 20's on ours, but if I didn't, I'd buy some replicas. I think that they look Great!

If I did the replicas, I'd probably have them powdercoated before putting on the tires. Then they'd be pretty much rock resistant and have a nice smooth finish too. You'd still be ALOT of money ahead! Just a thought!
