I picked these up as a trade. The clear is peeling but they are perfect otherwise. I think I will remove the clear and polish them.
What do you think?

They are 17"x 9.5".. they came off a 91 Vette.. not sure about the backspace but they looked right at home on the 91.

I just saw a set of those on ebay yesterday, but the ARE caps looked way bigger than yours. I've been wanting a set of CCW Classics for my 92, these look close to it.

Sweet! Cant wait to see them on the ride!

If you remove the clear... You MAY want to re-clear them... Polishing aluminium rims SUCKS! Lots of spokes and little nooks and crannies too! Means more to clean :D

I have another set at my beach house in Arizona. I can have my mail order bride ship them to you via Hokie Express. Just send me cash in an envelope.

:iagree: I bet I do one and then give up.. I've been thinking maybe its time for me to get a blast cabinet. If i find the right media it would make the job alot easier and my $500 would go towards something useful.

A good blaster would be a great addition to a garage/shop. A cabinet would be even better. I have a small cheap sand pot and I use it from time to time but it's slow and inefficient.
