I'd like the polished one for some rear drag tires but would never use them for daily driving.

John, I agree w/ M Halo, who said buy some Centerlines. They're made in U.S., so you keep the $ in this country supporting your working brothers/ sisters. Nothin wrong bout old school. I found some ChampXL that look similiar to what u showed. Price is cheaper than what you're eyeing. Bonus: in a 17", they're 4# lighter.

I think they look good with that lip on them. Not really a fan of the face on them though but I agree with your idea about the semi-prostreet look.

They got them too. Seems to me it was last wheel on page when I looked. It's your $$$. Ya, MI roads mean salt in winter, got for my factory cast alums. It sure will be nice when I don't have to drive in winter. Who knows if that'll happen. I'll just be faster cause of the 16# of wtg. I saved over you.

The up keep of polished is a pain when you don't really have the time(like me right now). But street performance to me is just like the track. If I meet up with any type of competition on the street, I want all the advantage I can get. AND I do rather the look of polished wheels vs. any other. Just my Opinion.

the eagle 101 or 102's in the 18x9.5 would look good on some m/t 315's for the street... the caps on either or are interchangable... those are the wheels i got on my 68..., but i dont know how it would look in a nnbs..?
