thats when you peel it off and start again.
my wheels are actually pretty bad from the previous owners. I dont think the barrels were ever actually cleaned before i owned the car. So I'm going to do some work on them with this stuff.
for those interested, dipyourcar.com has kits for wheels, cars, etc. Plently of different colors available, more than you can find at home depot etc. They have glossifier for those that dont care for the matte look.

40lbs of rotating unsprung weight is hard to pass up if you track it. Car looks fantastic both ways.
Is that a Halltech hood?

Really like your car regardless !!!
Gotta admit I like it better with the brushed finish wheels - a bit of class.
Right now there are black Vettes with black wheels everywhere - like a giant Batmobile parade.

So you rattle-canned your wheels? Did I read that correctly?

Who cares, the new wheels look AWESOME. I wish I could afford those three piece wheels but sadly I had to save a few $$$ and just ordered the Monoblocks in the SL version.
Oh, and yes, that hood is the Halltech GT2 Dred.

very nice -- but learn how to either turn down the megapixel size on your camera - or run your stuff thru MS paint and resize it... I'm on a 27" monitor and I can't even see the whole picture.

You've ruined those wheels!
I'll take em off your hands.
