so far so good....I clean them with Mothers wheel cleaner and blow dry hem to keep the water out.
A black vette with spoke wheels is high maintenance but it sure looks good imo

Default Foose wheels on my 73

I went old school with a 5 spoke chrome set but larger.

I installed a set of 17X10 Foose Legend wheels on a set of Nitto Exteme ZR tires (255/50ZR).

Yes lower it, it has a vbp suspension so totally adjustable. 4" wider fenders, will need new offset and 12 or 13 wide wheels. Also a ls3 a6. I love the wheels just decided to go new direction. I have a wide fender and big wheel addiction.
