Thanks. I didn't ask him. His sons were there working the show also. He had multiple brands of wheels already mounted on tires stacked up for sale. I was torn between a set of Rocket Mags, Torque Thrusts in chrome, Ridlers 695 in chrome, and the Coys. Mr Coy gave me his personal viewpoint from the manufacturers perspective. Ridlers were absolute junk (by far the cheapest), Torque thrusts and Rockets were strong wheels but only chromed on the front side, and the Coy's were strong and chromed on both sides. In addition to that, his center caps are chromed aluminum and screw on, as opposed to the rest, which mostly all use a plastic chromed center cap. Of course he would want to sell his own product but after a personal inspection of all the options right there in front of me, I went with the Coy's for the reasons he mentioned. He also talked to me about the problems he had in earlier years with chrome peeling, and the internet trolls exacerbating the problems that were legit. He was a straight shooter in my eyes and I really have enjoyed the wheels thus far... no regerts.

If I'm wrong on any of this I'm open to a wheel or product education.
