It's been a whole day since chrome or polished wheels have been discussed . I think with proper care you can get your polished looking pretty good. These are 02 polished, no snow a little rain. What do you think? Close?

Looks very nice! My first choice was Polished, ordered a set and they were not in great shape. Returned them for a set of Chromed OE wheels, very happy with them. The polished wheels pictured here though look very nice. If the original set that I ordered were in pristine condition as described I would have kept them.
