That's how we did it back then.
At least in the late 80's when I was old enough to drive.
Car looks original.

Anything even remotely modern I want completely blacked-out tires and absolutely zero chrome on the wheels. But on that Vette it's period-correct and I like it.

I like some chrome on the wheels. I have chrome outers and red centers. The chrome is so much easier than polished outers. Man are those labor intensive. I am not a fan of black wheels, but I am in the minority on that. They tend to disappear is all.

The brake dust.....it never stops! I'm going to try an experiment when it warms up to try and prevent dust buildup

Both of my IS F Sports had tremendous brake dust issues on the front wheels. I don't drive cars hard, so I applied a ceramic coating product to the wheels and I swapped the brake pads for pads that did not offer the same performance, but also didn't create tons of brake dust. It worked for me, but the majority of the IS community would never make the choice I made when I swapped the pads. To each their own of course, but ceramic coating without changing the pads was an improvement for a few of the IS crew.
