Yes,but only the spokes are chrome,the lip is polished I was going to go that route,but the extra 400 for it,without the whole wheel being chrome wasn't worth it to me.I have had polished wheeels on street rods for years,I'm used to polishing them.

Why is chrome a waste of money? It is 100x easier to maintain, especially on a daily driver. Water spots OWN torque thrust and polished wheels, chrome cleans up easily with windex.

IMO the chrome on polished looks like ***. Epsecially over time. Unless they have changed and are now doing the entire rim, think I miight have read that somewhere but the chrome job was bad. If you can get them all chrome go for it, chrome>polished. Day after i got my polished wheels they were in powdercoat

they were 1100 something.Took about 2 1/2 weeks to get.

They are 18x10 and 17x8 and look great,I wanted the big and little street rod look for mine.I don't like 17x9.5's on these cars.and IMO the 18's on the rear look better than 17's

I have them on BFG kdw2's 245/40 and 295/35.

Talk to TOMZWHEELS <- hes a sponsor and last time I checked hes got a special on them. 18's might have to be custom ordered, especially if they are going to be chromed and also, the only thing chromed on the TTII's are the center cap and the spokes. The barrel and the lip would still be polished and there is member on here somewhere that had them done and after about two years they looked like *** b/c the chrome (like NINEBALL says is very easy to clean) was still all shinny and new, however the polished (requires to be polished) was not as shinny and werent to easy to be cleaned without keeping them clean to start with especailly if they are your DD wheels. Hope this helps.

Yeah, 18s would be nice, but overkill. You'd have to see these in person, 17's fit the F-Bodys the best IMHO.
