The only time i had a corrosion problem was when i installed hawk blacks and ran them a session. Then they got wet and they rusted the finish on my black 6ul's.

With DTC 60's, I haven't had a corrosion problem. Been running them over a year on bronze 6ul's. Wheels still look fine.

My '99 came with a NIB set of HPS. I put them on the car and swapped them out in about a week for HP+ as the HPS were awful. I love HP+ on the street and they've served me well at the track. My only complaint is the dust. I don't care all that much, but I'm sure it would be a deal killer for some. I just wish I had gotten black wheels instead of silver...
