Sorry for the poor quality pics, but here's the end result of polished 17 x 9.5 ROH ZS wheels with 275/40's on all four corners.

 

badass car bro.Where did you get those rims at?I can't seem to find them.

 

I bought them used on eBay and then had them stripped and polished. They're the 4th gen offsets w/ 2" spacers all around.

 

Looks wicked. Nice job with the polishing.

 

Awesome! I'm liking those rims more & more everyday

 

Damn I never thought polished aluminum could have too much shine. Not my thing but they look good none the less.

 

If you didn't mention they were polished, I would think they are chrome.....

 

Those are as shiny, in pictures atleast, as any chrome I've ever seen.

 

Thanks a lot for the compliments everyone. Up close, the reflection is not as sharp as chrome, but it's still good. However, in the long run (or until I can afford to have them coated w/ Permastar), I like the idea of polishing over chrome. Realistically, you only get one shot at chroming. If it starts peeling or electrolysis starts causing bubbling, you're through. It costs too much to undo the chroming process. The more I read about Permastar, the more I'd like to go that route. These will probably be the last wheels to go on this car...

 

awesome

 

did ur car come with the antena in the back, thought that was a 83/82 only.... cant remember, anyone?

 

bling bling! Those wheels are awesome Aaron

 

Thanks Mike! We should get together with Ryan, Sammy, and Tim for a burger or something...

TwinTurboROC--I put the antenna in the back but I'm getting ready to delete it also. I'm always having trouble with it being caught when closing the rear hatch.

 

can u lower that car a little , its looks a little high. but the rims look good, Wow do they shine in that pic.

 

Sorry, lowering the car isn't on the agenda anytime too soon. Must finish engine, tranny, rear, & interior first.

 

gettin together for a burger sounds good...nice wheels man.

 

nice job on the polishing in all, but the bright wheels and the dark color just dont go together. The overal look isn't what i would have chosen but if you do, more power to you.

I would have left them the way they were.

Nice job man the look really sweet!

 

wheels look great. your pride in your work shows.

 

man the car looks awsome man but im with nolanr0413 you need to put some eibach springs and lower it! it will make the rims look bigger, and it makes the ride look mean!
but thats just my opinion.

 

:hail: sweet, thats badass. Looks very clean, good job

 

Looks Awesome. Your time and effort are easily paid for in the look of the rims.

 

that looks great, damn nice job:hail:

 

FlynLow- same here- I would've thought they were chrome if he hadn't said otherwise. I do think that design makes the rims look smaller tho. They're very shiney anyway

 

Where did you get them polished.

 

Thanks again guys.

Spdfrk1990 - I had a local guy here in Fresno do them. His resume` is impressive with names like Arlen Ness and Harley Davidson. I paid full price but I didn't have to contend with any shipping charges as I drive past his shop on my way to work. There are some more pics of the wheels in this thread.

 

Looks great man. Looks more like 16's to me though...?

 

Thnx FL! They are indeed 17's...
