Mine are chrome so if any one has anysuggestions please let me know? Also what is the biggest tires that anyone has for low profiles for they're SVT? Right now I have Nitto tires that are 215/35/18 and I was wondering if anyone has gone with maybe a 225/35/18? 98.5 CSVT, 21%Tint, Helo Lotus 18's chrome, Alpine stereo, MTX amp-2 12"subs, B+M shortshifter,Chip, MAF,Kurtz- Rev induction. More mods to come soon...

Make sure you dilute it before using it on your wheels. "Wow, that sank fast."
