Sorry man can't really share much on that. It's what I do for a living and don't like to share trade secrets.

I have the Racestars in black chrome as my drag setup but I've been thinking about doing my polished daily drivers into black chrome as well. They are the z06 18/19 combo, how much would you charge me for these? I'm located in the Houston area and I see you in Houston so no shipping would be needed.

When they are stained like that I sand them down with 1000 grid and water and then polish them. Turtle way makes a good chrome polish also, easier to apply and less elbow grease to get them shinning.

You sand the entire wheel? Won't that remove the clear coat?

Sounds like it would be alot of work...

Has anybody run the new 17"x10.5" on the rear yet? I think want to go 17"x4.5"/17"x10.5" on my '99 Z28.

WS6_Vet,
Did you ever get the 17x7's mounted yet? I'm looking for proof that they clear the ctsv calipers and by how much.

Thanks
