should they stay or should they go??
i hated the rims that my iroc has from day 1 but after a few beers tongiht i was like **** it they might look decent all cleaned up so i spent 2 hours polishing the ds rear rim by hand and i think i like them( as rims for mountin my drag slicks on anyways)
i purchased some american racing torqlite wheels for street use, dont want to drill these for bead screws
what do u think of these cleand up without the fake spinner/knockoff cap
before cleaning up this is what they looked like
and after some polishing (only the ds rear rim was done )

Those are clean wheels for the track, but everyday use I wouldn't do it.

Unless it was urgent I would keep the current ones. The torquelites also come in 17 X 8 and 18 x 8 with 4.5" BS (0 offset). I like them, but as far as I know they don't make them in widths wider than 8", which was a reason I never really considered them.

ITT we learn who still hasn't turned off related threads and infinite scroll in the forum options (which should be off by default IMO).
