yea i talked to john today at ccw, the corsair came into discussion a few times so did the 505A. im not sure if i want a poloshed finish again. It looks fantatic but a BISNITCH to clean. i drive my car pretty regular so i would be assuming the polished wheels would get nasty. btw tfenton very nice look
