i have another set on the girlfriends cts-v and hers are powder coated and we just wash them with car wash soap to keep them clean.

check out forgelines web site, they are very nice people. i bought mine through frank at prodigy customs.
I must have been getting the wheel size minimun confused with the Michelin Pilot 335/35 R17 which can go down to a 11in wheel. I do like Forgelines but not sure I can stomach the price.

I can't afford the three piece wheels so end up getting the TTII's for now.
Your tires and wheels look awesome. The bulge looks good, not too much. I wish there were a few more tires in that size, preferably the BFG in the KDW though I have read comments about the Michelins lasting longer that the BFG KDW.

Mine are the BFG KDW2 in 335 on an 18x11.5 wheel. You can run an 11 also will just make it 1/4" narrower on each side which will hardly change the sidewall look.

18's, In a 2 piece, yeah.

3 piece are usually about the same in price.
