Default New wheels!
I became a statistic, my driver rear suffered from 6 cracks.
So I went on the hunt for affordable wheels and found a company called Detroit Wheela nd Tire. They had a set of GM wheels I have never seen, the price was perfect so I grabbed them.
From what I understand, they are prototypes. A one off set! I am super excited to have these, they look amazing!

They look very nice with your car and I wish you good luck with them but if they are cast wheels, keep a close eye on them because they stand a good chance of cracking too.

"...super dirty" You should see mine! Pollen gives me a sickly yellow (black underneath) Vette with the same thing again within minutes if I bother washing it now.
