Default Polished Z06 wheels

I have a 02 Z06 with stock wheels that I would like to have polished. Has anyone done this, other that a wheel exchange? I live in California, can anyone recommend a shop?

Corvette Garage sells polished aluminum Z06 wheels for under $700 per set. I like them on my yella '02 - the look is a softer shine, not as bling as chrome, Of course, aluminum is higher maintenance. I mounted my race tires on the original wheels.

If you want your stock wheels polished contact Wheel Techniques at 408-496-6363. They are in Santa Clara, CA. Have not used them but found them through another thread.
