Default 5th Gen High Polished Machine Faced Wheels

Well ever since I had my Lumina LTZ I loved the machine faced wheels. When I had the Lumina I really wanted to high polish the wheels but it was my paernts ride and they said no. So when I got my Monte, I found a set of slightly damaged machine faced wheels for dirt cheap. Took them to a shop right down the road from me and the guy was able to fix the wheels and high polish them. Heres the final product, with Eagle GTs.

Thanks guys....I love thoes wheels I think because its such a simple design but it still looks great. My machine faced wheels on my LTZ were spotless when I sold the car...Never used wheel cleaner on them just soapy water. The Z34 factory wheels the clear coat is goin bad on them amd to me they looked like crap but thats why I did this 2nd set for summer.

Hi `Mike, they look Super on your Monte 4-Sure.
Classic Look...Was it expensive to have it done ?
Are they easy to maintain ?
Thanks for sharing with your Monte Family.

The wheels look awesome bowtie8_3! Great idea.

And skylark65, those are stock rims for the 98-99 Z34 that are made for 225/60/16 tires. The tires might be a different size though (like 235 or something).
