Wheel Vintiques. Summit sells them. Straight and show quality chrome. Make sure you put wax on them front and back right out of the box. Try to get the wax in between the center and hoop as well. Then wax every few years after and they will out live you.

I also have wheel vintiques, their very nice but i washed them after having tires mounted and the back side started many small areas of rust showing. So i cleaned them and used an epoxy primer to paint the back side of the wheels. Hopefully this will extend the life of the chrome. The fronts are gorgeous.

Agreed, You have to do everything you can including trying to keep the water off them as much as possible. But they have to be washed so I use compressed air to get in between the hoop and center after.

Wax? Straight up Carnauba with a fresh cotton applicator pad. Kimberly-Clark disposable towels to wipe clean. Both sides of the wheels. I even did the inners before the tires were mounted. A bit ****?
