And look in to getting thhem clear coated on top of the high polish.
Also, I suggest a step up look.

The OEM rims from the 2004 Z06 CE Z16
Special edition commemorating their Le Mans victories.
Same look as the Z06 wheel, except it is highly polished and clear coated.

See, now I like that.
Curved look of the 505 but it doesn't have that stupid split.
Still, it would look totally different on an f-body.
I like the sp20
