Yup, I wash the wheels and tires last, after I have dried the entire rest of the car.

Then I use 2-3 Micro Fiber cloths. I to get the initial water off and the second to continue the drying and if needed I use a third. Repeat x3. I use the chrome polish as a last step and use 2 cloths for that. Might want to pick up some Q-tips to clean the rivots on the wheels, they get to be a pain as well

Good luck man

Where do you get the camber bolts and are they easy to install?

Got them from lmpperfomance they are made by BMR and cost 40 bucks. I got one pair and you put them in place of the upper strut bolts but in order to get the most out of them you need to get you car aligned. My car went from -2.5 of neg camber to -0.05 they do work! If by chance you need more camber adjustment get two pair and replace both the upper and lower strut bolts.

Looks great. I have those same rims my Black GT. One thing to watch out for is that I have had 4 rivets pop out of mine and I had to replace them. Those rivets are glued chrome plastic pieces. They only cost about $2.50 each to replace but for the price of the rims you would think that they would have found a better way to secure them. But even with that said, I wouldn't want any other rim, I love em!!

2L8IWON:
I called MHT Wheels direct and told them where I lived and they gave me the names of some local shops that are authorized dealers. Then I had to go to the shop and order from them. When I replaced them, I just used some HD Super Glue and I haven't had any problems with them falling out. Just make sure to clean out the hole really well, I used a Q-Tip with some rubbing alcohol.
