I am looking at the Ultra 203C-Chrome in 20x9 for a '22 Limited. Anyone had any experience with these wheels?

That's a lot of chrome to keep clean.
Looks like they got pretty good reviews on custom offsets.

I was a dealer for these wheels in the early 2000’s, and my family business still technically is. My recommendation is to stay away from the ultra-branded family for any non-forged offering. We’ve been bitten so many times with chrome warranties and weak wheels that bend with minor potholes that I decided to stop offering them in 2005 (the business still offers them, but no one sells them unless a customer asks). I have a wheel right now hanging as a hose reel in our shop that was on my mitsu evolution X for less than 3 weeks when a minor bridge gap bent all 4 wheels so badly that I lost tire pressure and had to be towed. That’s not my only personal story. Needless to say, I’m not a fan.

Edit: There’s a saying- “Buy once, cry once.” I think money would be better spent if you went with a brand outside of the Ultra family.

I believe I'm going to pass on the wheels. Probably too damn old to try to keep that stuff shining where I live and ain't always on paved roads. But they shore are purdy.

I was just at the shop today messing with my coilovers. Here’s one of the wheels I was talking about earlier. It didn’t make it 500 miles before they were all trash. Now it has a second life.
