ah ok ... I always hate the freacking shiny tires sidewalls, even worse so when they put so much on it that you have to wipe it off the lower body paint:furious

I throw the tire-wet on mine a few times a year, but I'm going to need new tires soon, so I don't worry about it too much. Like the man says, a light coat is all it takes. Any more than that is useless, it gets so sticky that it grabs bugs and dust for days.

A big problem with me, working the night shift, is bug splatters. I found stuff that gets 'em off well, but it also contains a wax, which looks weird if you just use it to get a couple but splats off without washing and waxing the whole car.

But the stick-on tinting on the headlights makes it easy to keep them clean at least.

Hehe, those wheels look great on your white car. It was an L98 but now it's a forged, carbed 383.

Was about to say the same ... black spokes, chromed dish always looks sexy.

The rims I have picked out for mine this winter are black bullitt wheel with crome rim. I agree, the contrast looks great.

thats going to look nice!

I'll never buy another set of billet wheels again, to much work.

Bullitt, not Billett.

i should have been more clear, the bullit wheels will look great. i won't own anything but black wheels from here on out.

i use to own a set of billet wheels on a droped truck i had, looked great but to much work to keep looking like a mirror. black just hit with some water and a towel

Yeah, even without the extra work, I wouldn't want Billets for the simple fact that every Honda Civic with a fartcan and a do-it-yourself window tint kit (aka- a "Rolling Speaker") has giant chrome rims. I'm so sick of seeing chrome anymore....

thats funny cause everyone use to call my Z/28 the J-spec Camaro because of the black wheels. those were the first to sport the black, grey gunmetal wheels down here.
