Polished 03/04 Cobra rims

[YellowSnake01]

I've been trying to figure out a badass rim for my 89 GT, and I began to wonder how polished 03/04 Cobra rims would look. Anyone know of this done, or have pics? I hope these rims are even good enough aluminum to polish.

Opinions on this and other rims choices are cool, whatcha guys think??

Oh yea, the car will have a 93 cobra/stalker body kit, 1.5" cowl hood, lowered, and be a light metallic blue. Goin for that road race kinda look.

On a serious note though.. I have polished Saleens and wish with every ounce of my body and being that I had spent the extra cash and got chrome.. Reason being is they are so hard to keep clean.. TRUST ME.

+1, but don't get them clearcoated in the traditional sense, the clear will yellow over time. What have to do, is get them powdercoated clear, they will clean just like any other part on the car then and they shouldn't yellow over time.

Mine are polished. They look fine, not clearcoated. They're easy to keep clean. :shrug:

I definately did consider the maintence part of it, and I don't think it'll be much of a concern. My '65 Olds 442 has polished parts EVERYWHERE, and it's not fun to keep up with sometimes but when it's clean it's amazing. And thats with polished Torq Thrust wheels.....cleaning those 03/04 Cobra rims would be cake in comparison.

Steeda30, your car looks awesome. Did you polish them yourself? If I do this, I was planning on 17x9 and 17x10.5 silver rims and stripping them down then polishing them up myself. Got any closeups you could post or email?
