Got a new toy added to my Z stable

I should order the wheels so it would force me to finish the car faster. j/k I wouldn't want to rush it. Good to know about the Ansen brand wheels. I'll see if they can't be cleaned up and made to shine again.

Trust me, those Ansens can be polished to look like chrome.

Would you recommend a local wheel shop or a DIY project?

A wheel shop could polish those wheels in no time. You can do it yourself but it will take a bit of time to do the job properly.

Here is a better picture of the Ansen wheels. Mine were 8 1/2" x 15" so are much deeper than the wheels on your Z. The Ansen wheels were a very popular wheel for the Z's in the early 70's.
