Two Pictures (New Stance + Polished CCWs Back On) A few weeks back someone tried to steal my CCWs but didn't get away with them (thank goodness) so ever since I've been riding the stock 17s. Today was extremely nice out so while I was sitting around watching the Powerblock I hand polished the lips and faces of the 505As and threw them on the car for the day. I was out driving around enjoying the weather and decided to stop on my way back to my place in front of an office building to snap a few shots real quick as the car and the CCWs were relatively clean and because I dropped the new Pedders 1/2" drop rear springs in recently (they replaced my King 0" drop rear springs and make the car sit nice and level with the 1/2" drop King front springs that are currently on the car).
The CCWs are back off now though. I'm daily driving the GTO now and the full polished finish is a bit much to keep up with so I'll be getting a brushed and cleared finish on the face, spokes, and barrel and leaving the lip high polished. They wont be going back on until they're refinished, I've got maximum security measures in place, and my rear fenders are rolled as they're rubbing bad in the back with the drop in the rear.

I understand why you are doing it, but I think the polished centers look **** on that car man...I just hate to see you lose the look. At least your elbow won't ache after each rainstorm you drive through...lol

I absolutely agree man. The entire polished look is by and far perfect for this car, but I've been looking at pictures of some BMWs and even Bentleys with the polished lip and silver/brushed centers and I actually think its not going to be that big of a hit to the appearance with keeping the fat CCW lips polished to set off the silver centers. Overall I'd rather keep them like they are but the finished centers will A) cut down on the bling factor and draw less attention from thieves as well as B) cut down on my poor fingers trying to get in and polish between the split spokes almost every other day from daily driving them.
