My '87 roadster had BBS wheels and got compliments every time I showed it. Do they even make them any more?

See if you can get in touch with jeffvette he does a lot of powdercoating to ZR1 engines.
Good idea Mr Peabody. Long time since we last talked. Hope all is well with you and the family!
jeffvette now spends most of his time on this forum if you want to contact him http://www.zr1netregistry.com/forum/index.php?

Default Take your time

GM spends millions and hires the best to come up with wheels that suit the car,go figure.
Personally Waaaaaay toooo much BLING !!!!!
If you must
Rough them with 4x0 steel wool and spray bomb,let em tack up then clear coat,dry thoroughly and polish with mothers aluminum.
Total cost about $30.00.

gold rims aren't all that bad you just have to get the right ones. BBS makes a gold set of LM's that will run you north of 5000 dollars.
