Good afternoon all,

A local Boxster enthusiast was kind enough to give me three chromed 18" twist wheels. I ordered the fourth (front wheel) from eBay and when it arrived it was much "shinier" than the three I already have. My plan is to buff out the other three to see if I can bring some life back into them and try to match the eBay wheel.

I know chrome wheels aren't too popular. I actually like them and curious to see how the 18" compare to my 17"'s.

Questions:

- any recommendation on buffing? chrome polish brand? (I have access to an orbital buffer)

- Any good leads on replacement center pieces?

Any input is greatly appreciated, have a great rest of the weekend!
