Thanks Tim, after the sandblasting that this one took on, I am proud of this one, could not do much with the chrome part, tried compound wax, soft-scrub, Bon Ami, it is as good as it will get. Todd (Uma)

Dude, you nailed this one. Thanks so much. I really think the wheels are going to set the car off. No white SS's and it keeps the 5 spoke thing going. I decided I am going to keep the car. Having said that, I plan on more mods and this wheel swap opportunity was too good to pass on. I can always sell the 17's and the new wheels have 400 miles on them, brand new.

Brad, I was planning on using the original sensors as the overall diameter of the 17 and 18" wheels are really close to being the same. At least is what I was told. Is there an issue?

Don, the polished wheels will look really cool on your rider along with the refinished grille Todd did for you

To give you a rough idea as to how much speedo maybe off , check this link and plug in the tire sizes
