I put a couple coats of Zaino on my wheels and it protects them way better than any wheel wax I have used 
. If you are using Zaino on your car, throw some on the wheels and you will be pleased.

Awesome wheels Jeff!
Glad to hear you're keeping the beast. After all that time and $$ you put into it, it would be a shame to sell it. I see keep it even if you don't have much time to drive it.
Are you coming out to LexFest?

Guilty as charged... I pull mine about once a month to give them a thorough cleaning.
It's also a great opportunity to clean the brakes & coilovers.
My next set of wheels for the Lex will have either blue powdercoated or chrome inners.
I chromed the inners & outers on my MR2 wheels (brushed centers), the overall look is killer
Jeff is a wildman. But we already knew that.

The Pioneer NAV is in, just need to finish the audio and complete the new wheels.
20x11.5 out back.

Car will be finished. I've never finished a car before...
Right now the NSX is vacuuming all my funds.

Jeff: Tempting... but I am building the NSX for my dad.
Considering the NSX is a Honda product, it's kind of amazing how expensive everything is for it...
