These wheels look SICK

The auction on ebay says they are 19X9.5 HP RACING Chrome wheels. BADASS.

You know what's weird? When I was making this topic, I was going to say something along the lines of "I bet these would really look great on a teal colored Camaro" and you know what? I was totally right.

they look really good when they are clean but they collect brake dust so quick you need to clean them at least once a week and if you dont they get so tough to get clean again to many little places to collect dust so i got some c6 wheels

They look like they'd be a total pain in the *** to clean. I think they look good, especially on the teal one, but the cleaning would keep me from wanting to get them. My Z06's are a bit annoying, especially for polishing. My Rebels aren't too bad, though the fake rivets at the ends of the spokes make for a little extra cleaning time. The worst of all, though, was my Eagle Alloy series 203's. Lots of ridges and tight spaces and made of polished aluminum. Those were a pain in the *** to polish to a shine.

They don't look bad, I'd like to see an 18" version but as others said, the first thing I thought was what a PITA the would be to clean.

cleaning does look like a challenge; but there are worse out there.....like E46 M3 wheels.

i think these look good on f-bodies...especially on a TA...makes me think of the retro mesh wheels on the Bandit. http://www.yearone.com/yodnn/Portals...4/Default.aspx

as large as possible in front is the way to go....less understeer on the track

Thumbs up

I use to have those exact same wheels... on an RC car.

They're too busy for me... not a bad looking wheel though.
