What do you think! im getting the 17X9.5 for the rear and 16X8 up front, . Also what does This "2-piece polished alloy wheel" mean? Does that mean it will look chrome?

I was kinda iffy about the 16X8 up front, Ill probably just do like you said and go 17 all the way, damn thats a lot of rubber contact! So how hard is it to take care of polished rims? What problems if any over chrome? Oh, buy the way, Very sweet ride!!

polished is definetly harder to take care of .

i always use "Mothers" mag and aluminum polish...

btw, you might want to check all the other message boards first!
i am sure there is a set that somebody is selling at a cheap price !
so you don't have to pay "retail"

try these boards also !
