Wheels are the Winterchrome from LAWheel. Not much different than the regular chrome. You can see for yourself in the closeup shots that there is a slight difference. Let me tell you, the inside of the wheels look great too.

I had them mounted by my chevy dealer. Be sure you request for them to attach the weights behind the spokes when possible. Only one wheel turned out with the weights slightly in view. Don't let them tell you that they can't do it! They can with a little extra time.

Where would you go to get your wheels checked?

The dealership checked mine while doing the install. Or any tire place will be able to do it. Just get it documented.

What Jeffs_SS said. Just about any place can take a look, but documentation is key. For instance, we use a high-speed balancer that prints out a very detailed report of any imperfections or issues with the wheel: you see exactly whether the wheel is straight and true or not.

Best to just call around and see what auto places say, but the big chains probably have the equipment to do it.
