Default 2001 A4 17" rims: Chrome Dipped??
I'm sure most 01' sport package owners are aware the stylish, new 17" rims suck. The coating on them is exteremly poor.

I'd like to see about getting them dipped in chrome or something? I'm sure this is possible, anyone know of a place that will do it within the Boston area?

Default You smoke bad crack..
The 17" rims look weet just the way they are. Chroming them will make them bling bling looking.

Bottom line is: I like the rims, however they are lack quality in a big way. $900 for both rims/tires suggests that they're cheap!!!
