Polished wheels

Just stuck a shot of a polished wheel in Misc section. Not mine, any thoughts?

Must admit they look great, but can't help thinking that they would be a nightmare to keep polished, I think I prefer the polished rim idea for practicality.

I agree, I think that shot was from the US somewhere. With all the bloody rain we get, you'd spend months polishing!!
"where you off love"
"out to polish my rims"
"You have been spinning me that line for months now, anyway, when did you start calling it your rim?"

Yeah, you'd think that.
However, on my VFR, which had white-painted wheels, they were chipped from tyre changes, and were a real bastid for showing all the road grime, so I stripped and polished them. The grime actually stuck less to the polished bits, and they were easier to keep clean as a result - just a quick spray with rim cleaner, then hose off.

The FahrtSturm has black rims though, and they don't show the dirt as much, so I don't worry about them too much, and have no intentions of going the polished route. Yet.
If they get much more chipped, I may reconsider this.
