Those look nice! What sized tires are you going with? I was planning on the same set up for my Z28.

Red '03 Cobra, Blue '05 GTO (first one with the Corsa exhaust), silver GT, blue '88/'89 Notchback on pro stars with a built 306, another grey/pewter '03 Cobra, dark red '02 Z28, red '95 LT1 with a 383.

They are all pretty much in Massapequa. Not sure if they post up on the boards at all.

This is a bit off subject but it seems everythread that has something good looking in it I end up scrolling down and seeing phantomzer0's avatar - damn distracting

Eh, Zoop seal suckkks. I had several hours into the Zoop seal process when I first got my wheels...

That didn't last. The fresh polished look just doesn't last. It can't hold a candle to Mothers Billet polish and some hard work. (You can't use metal polish with Zoop Seal, only soap and water).

That's a pretty easy wheel to clean though. Very open with thin smooth spokes. If you have access to air, hit Snap On tools up for their Bluepoint polisher/kit. It works amazing with a buffing pad...
