Default Question about the factory chrome wheels

Let's say one of your rims bends bad and you want to replace it with another "reconditioned" factory wheel bought on the internet.
Should you worry that that one chrome wheel will not match the other three in terms of finish, shine, etc?

I'm talking about in terms of all 4 being used but 3 of them came with the car and have same mileage but who knows where the 4th one has been.

If there is a difference, will it be noticeable?

There are differences in the finished product between platers, it just depends how picky you are about that kind of thing. I probably would not mind.

There is a service bulletin somewhere that describes pitting of the stock chromed wheels. Check with your dealer if this applies to you!

Are you mentioning that because of the bent rim? That happened after I hit a huge pot hole.

So I take it that there will be differences but not that noticeable?
