I have them on my 95 formula and i love them...but I do agree, I wish they were 18" (17"s can look kinda small on a 4th gen)...but 18" is a custom size so the price would be double.
As for polishing them...I have a Mother's power ball so i dont mind doing it every week, even thought they dont need to be done that often.

well mine are pretty much the same thing , i kinda sometimes wish i went with different like what kandiedz has , i like the straight 5 spoke look, but i do get a ton of compliaments on the wheels. I like how the 18s look but i dont like the ride i have at all with them .

Count me in. I like my wheels...but now...I'm looking for more of a modern muscle type wheel...and to about every car show I go to, EVERYONE has the TTII rim...just kind of outdates the car...giving it more of an old school look...

If I could sell my wheels...I'd go with atleast an 18 inch wheel...probably the Boyd Hotrods like Camaroguy18's
