[QUOTE=94'BLKBRD;10122244]Had these on my old SS. The paint lasted around 1 year before I resprayed them and did the red lip.[/QUOTE=94'BLKBRD;10122244]

Hey guys Im going nuts! I mocked up the chrome rims next to the car and they looked badass. I guess since Ive always had black rims a different look is really appealing. I'll post up some pics tomorrow for your opinions.

Not bad at all for a stocker. I couldnt hook all day. Almost ate it the first run but I still managed a 7.6 @ 94.7mph, thats my usual run.

If its bad enough yeah. They grind them down and fill them up, then polish. Looks new again.
