I know a  guy in Monrovia, California, who makes custom wheels and also =
repairs wheels.
I bought one time 16" Centra 31. This guy straightened them fully.
He told me the material the European wheel makers use to make these rims =
and also the BBS (the older ones, I guess) are much softer than the =
material use by American wheel makers.
Over the years he had repaired many of them and he advised me not to buy =
them.
I still use the chrome Centra's 31 under my Diesel, but I watch not to =
park against the curb.
What are your experiences.
