Hey, I like those wheels. What are they and how hard are they to clean and polish? I've seen a few different wheels like that but the rivet/bolt heads look difficult to maintain and clean...... thanks

They are the Chrome 18" SVE Series 2 Wheels sold at Late Model Restoration. I run low dust brake pads so they don't get a lot of dust on them. They are very easy to clean, I just use a short blast of compressed air on each rivet, takes less than a minute per wheel. I've never seen anything significant come out after the air blast. If you daily the car in all types of weather, I could see where those rivets might pose a problem. They are a great looking wheel that won't break your bank account. I've run those wheels all over the area in shows and meets. I've got nothing but compliments and not one question about if they were knock-offs or the real thing.

Thanks for the reply. My car is definitely not DD, but occasionally I am on highway. How are those wheels at highway speeds. Any vibration??

No problem, I've had the car well into the triple digits a few times and couldn't detect anything vibrating or out of whack. The tire installer I use has a Hunter Engineering Tire Machine, which does an excellent job. It cost a few more bucks but the mounting and balancing are spot on. If you go cheap with the install, the Neanderthal installer might **** up your wheel and most likely you'll have vibration issues.

That's awesome. I hope that they're still in stock next spring. I'm out of money for mods this year.

Look like the discontinued SVE Series 1 from Latemodel Restoration.
