I know what you mean - I have an identical set but it's a fair-weather weekend car so I only have to polish them once or twice a year.

You might want to consider having them chrome-plated. 505's look awesome chromed.

They look awsome, if I had that much money to spend I would definately take them off your hands, too bad I dont. Good luck with the sale though

Beautiful wheels, man. If I had my drothers, I would buy tires and wheels all day long. I think I have a fetish for them. Sometimes I want to buy them for cars I don't even own.

After spending like 6+ hours on my SP500's last Thu/Fri I'm about ready to get mine chromed too - I have chrome brake pad inserts and with just a wash they're perfectly shiny.

Just such a pain with existing mounted tires and whatnot...

Hi first let me start off by saying please dont be offended by this post and I mean that in the nicest way. I am very interested in your rims because its the ones I was planning to buy. However if you are flexable off the 3700 then I would be a buyer. I saw how you said no low ballers I dont know whats low to you. But 700 off new? If you are under 3K I would be interested since 20% life is already gone on the tires. I understand vetts holding value but I dont know so much about rims. Thank you for your time please email me if you are flexable. I am thinking around 2800. Sorry if you think thats a low ball. Email me if you are interested zeenathk@hotmail.com. Thank you for your time.

Mpwr may I ask why you have the fronts 19 and the rears 19? Usually its 18 and 19's or 19's and 20's. Just curious because I am going to buy rims so your advise will be greatly appreciated. Sorry we couldn't come to an agreement on your wheels.
