I purchased 17" chrome Konig Prophet wheels less than 2 years ago and the chrome is already starting to pit and rust. These wheels have less than 2000 miles on them and they have never been exposed to anything bad. My car is stored during the winter and I keep the car and wheels clean all of the time. The Konig rep. basically told me that it was somehow my fault and try some chrome paste to make them look better. The warranty is only one year and I suspect that the thickness of the chrome is meant to last about that long. I am very meticulous about the care of my car. I'm very disappointed with Konig quality and I will never buy Konig wheels again. BTW, these were not cheap wheels. I paid over $1200 for the set.
