You should have gotten them in black with a chrome lip but those still look great

Looks good man. A quick question for owners of these wheels. Are they a bitch to keep clean with all the spokes?

Where did you get them from. I'm kind of sick of my c6z wheels because everyone in my area has them.

Can I be alumni? Haha
If they get wet the lip looks like ****, same as any deep dish rim.
The spokes hide dirt dust etc very good actually. It does take a 4-5 minutes each rim for a full 100% clean but its not that bad.

Not bad. A lot less work than I would have thought.

Black, this is granted you dont wait a year between washes. My rims/car as a whole gets washed after almost every single drive, completely. However sometimes It would go 3-4 drives and get a quick wash after number 2-3 and the rims usually looked spotless compared to some other areas of the car.

Carlos had his custom widened.19x13 rims with a 345, tubbed of course.

He has a thread somewhere around here about the install, as well as his diffuser.

These wheels are bad ***. I'm a big fan of the mesh style wheels. I'd love to put some hypersilver 18's on my SS

Looks great OP! These are the best wheels for the birds. Although my opinion is slightly biased. Here's mine:

Honestly? They don't feel any different than the 17" stockers IMO.
