Ridler 695 Wheels - Good Boss 338 alternative

Picked up a set of the Ridler 20" 695's today through my Wholesale account. 20x8.5 fronts , 20x10 Rears . The finish on these wheels are great for the price and being a cast wheel. No clearance issues with the hub bore or center cap. These look almost identical to the Boss. Very happy with them

Re: Ridler 695 Wheels - Good Boss 338 alternative

I've had the Ridler 695's on mine for about 5 years now. They are pitted terrible. Total crap, look like hell. I was told it was from thin chrome, hot specks of brake pads burning through the chrome.

Not sure if that was the cause but they are horrible looking. Pitted bad enough that they're not even worth powder coating. I've never used any harsh cleaners or polishes on them. Simply embarrassing.

I should've spent a little more $$ upfront and bought something that would've lasted.

These are 5-6 years old and still look new.
