It's pretty hard to top an ISO cert. Six sigma and ISO is where it's at for any manufacturing organizaiton, regardless of what they are making. Big ups to CAT for pioneering six sigma!
On another note, how do you know that Weds are made by Rays?

American chrome is one thing, but Japanese chrome is a whole other.
American chrome is typically very thick and distasteful. Japanese chromed wheels usually have thin coating and are quite nice.
Here are my chrome Weds, what do you guys think compared to the chromies you have seen on the streets or the ones posted above?
Keep in mind the mounted picture is just a testfit I did a few days ago, I need to do some suspension mods before I can tuck them under the fender.
I personaly think Weds have an awesome finish.

Are those chromed or just polished. I still don't dig that look but I will agree polished looks better...
