what can you do to prevent wear and tear like that. Mine would be under some pretty heavy usage.

Looks really nice. Looks better than my wheel done by DCTMS in CA at about same price. Mine is a bit narrower diameter without top stripe.

I figured by the 100% positive feedback it should be a good product!

Do you wish you would of went a bit thicker on the wheel? they have them in optional 1/16 and 1/8 inch padding over OEM which makes the wheel 1/4 to 1/2 inch thicker.
