I gotta tell ya Bro, I've never liked black wheels on EB until I saw your pics! You're car is gorgeous, and whoever took the pics is a true pro!
Great job!

I knew JETZ would come and try to steal our EB thunder!

Man, your Z16 is one of my favorite Corvettes of all time!

Regarding tires for the street that provide good ride and low noise - I am happy with my Bridgestone 760 sport w/ OEM speedlines.

I see several guys running them, but never heard any feedback on them.

I'm running Bridgestone RE-11 tires. They were comfortable and quiet driving from California to South Carolina! They handle like a beast too...much better than my old BFG KDW2s!

What do you guys use to keep the calipers and rotors looking so clean?

Also, what do you use on your rims?

Xx_Blackout, your car has changed my mind about black rims on EB cars as well; VERY nice!!

I hardly drive mine which is why mine always look clean.

No but if you wash your car regularly, they will stay cleans.

As far as what I use on mine, I polish them with p12 and mothers about twice during spring/summer. Then just use soap and water in between.

They are 18" C6Z06 style rims w/ a deep dish rear. Gunmetal powdercoated centers w/ a polished lip They were on it when I purchased the car, so I really don't know where they came from. Sorry.
