I like the look of polished aluminum much more than chrome. The polished wheel is higher maintenance especially if it's uncoated (which I prefer). You never have to worry about flaking or peeling like chrome. :cheers:
Are you guys polishing the 02,03 and 04 wheels? I read somewhere here that
the newer wheels didn't really polish up as nice as the 01's. :-? These pics sure look nice.

Turned out to be just another rumor with about 1% truth in it. The forged rim may be a little less porous and a little easier to polish (take a little less time) The man that was going to polish mine told me that the 02's and up polish up just as good.
Anyone know where to locate Mike the Wheelwright in Fort Lauderdale. He has moved or something :z:
wow nice pic... are those the factory polished rims? must be the lighting cause i have never seen factory polished rims look that good... looks more like machined rims.
Question for those of you with polished OEM wheels. Are there any disadvantages, aside from needing more maintenance and cleaning, to polishing the aluminum? How much more prone to pitting are the wheels?
I wheels are from house of wheels. They are not factory wheels.
