Kalgorn Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 A few days ago I was at work and saw a sweeeeeeeeeeeeet Maui Blue Z34 in the parking lot. Goddamn this thing was clean... only thing I could find wrong was a ding on the hood. Was sooooo clean. Even the exhaust tips were clean! I looked at the wheels and the "inserts", I guess you could call them, were painted black. Was this some sort of option for Z34s? It actually made the Z34 wheels appealing.

5speedz34 Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Personally I like the gray over the black. I had black on my old '92 and hated them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalgorn Posted June 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Personally I like the gray over the black. I had black on my old '92 and hated them. Well I find the gray are tougher to keep clean. Cleaning the inserts is a bitch... it's too much surface area and the inserts are too small of an opening to clean very well. I haven't actually cleaned my wheels in probably 10 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1990lumina Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Thanks! I was thinking about doing the black insert thing on my Lumina...but shit I didn't know that GM actually made wheels like what I had envisioned lol.... Personally, I wanted to paint mine black like that first pic because my wheels are ALWAYS coated with brake dust in where the black part is....IMHO, much easier to keep clean ...thanks for the pics....but I guess my idea was taken from me 12 years ago lol... - Jeff L.

That's why I wish my wheels had the black inserts too. They get really dirty from brake dust and are way too tough to clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EurosportZ34 Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 the black inserts makes the rims looks more "spokey" like the top-of-the-line Lumina Z34 should have had... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have 14in rims (If you want to call them that) that are stained brown because of rust, those are the best thing you're car can get. I need good wheels. :bawl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
