Default 505As on the way

I finally did it
I ordered a set of 505As in 18x10 and 18x11 for my Trans Am. I ordered them with 285/35/18 and 295/35/18 Goodyear GS-D3 tires

I can't wait , John from CCW said it should be about 1.5 weeks before they ship out

They're here
Came in yesterday, wow these are really nice

Got a question though, when polishing, does the black **** ever go away? These are brand spanking new, shine like crazy and I used some Klasse AIO and Mother's Billet and I constantly get a black rag? Even after going over a few times. The inner hoops are blinging to the point where it looks like you're in the fun house mirror room

No pictures yet, my buddy has my dremmel and I need to do some cutting and hammering to get these 18x11s on in the rears

The black stuff is the metal itself. When you use Mother's or some metal polish on the wheels. you are remove microscopic particles of metal....it will NEVER go away.
