I'm glad the Gibbs is helping you out. I thought it would.

Due to the 5-on-5 pattern, you might try selling the wheels on this Boss 302 forum... http://www.boss302.com/smf/index.php?PHPSESSID=7604hsiqm1n1fe2ddlsa8qv7v1&board=8.0

The only Boss that used a 5x5 was a real T/A team car that had Lincoln rotors. The normal pattern is 5x4 1/2.

Looks like the Gibbs made them look quite a bit better.

That is absolutely incredible! I'd love to see some up close shots of the pitting and the textured surface of the spokes.

The Gibbs made a huge improvement. Not entirely free of oxidation but they seem to be getting better every day.

Here are some NOS American D-spoke mags that were for sale on eBay recently by the person who bought them new. I don't think I ever thought I'd see an NOS set of these 50 years later but I'm glad I did. They are awesome even if they are the 15x6 size and not the 15x7 or 15x8.
