Mothers Mag & Aluminum polish and put some arm into it. I wanted polished CCWs but after watching a buddy struggle to clean his polished classics after every ride, I decided to have my centers Titanium anodized. I just wipe mine down with a rag, and spend 5 mins polishing the lips every few rides with mothers, and they look good as new.

Looks like a pain In the ***. If I were in your shoes i'd sell them to me for $500 bucks and not worry about all that hassle you are going to go through.

Staggered with 17" fronts is kinda gay for street wheels. I thought they had tires on them, for 500 each with tires I might have been interested, but then I read they didn't have any.

I mean it's just my personal opinion, and apparently the guy above me, but I just don't like the look of different sized street wheels. Drag wheels is one thing when you need to clear big brakes or etc..but for a street setup one diameter looks better to most.

me either, i guess some kids have to go look up a thing or two before making ''gay'' remarks. those look to be factory sizing on a vette. as they come from the factory on a staggered size 17/18. its how the front and rear suspension is set up stock on c5's.

I believe this was zturds car I know him. Also my buddy Bad6as has them on his mustang so I can't get the same wheels lol my car already looks better then his. I don't wanna hurt his feelings to bad

And to the other guy I believe the center is chromed because the center is real shiny and the lip is really dull ill put pictures up this after noon. But also I forgot I mention this to a friend. If they are to much of a hassel to clean im gonna plati dip these mother ******* and be done with it. So we will see when the weather is nice and its not 22 degrees outside when I wake up.

Those aren't that bad, they'll clean up pretty easy actually. Just use what everybody said.
Mother's Cone and Mag Wheel Polish and you'll be good.

i dont understand your post

they are a race version and wont accept the ccw center caps?

what about if i decide to sell them.

and if they are the "race" version it would make sense since the first two owners autocross the car in cali
