Depends on the wheel design.

Which wheels do you have? The 5 spoke ones I have on my car would be super easy to polish.

I can imagine that the "lobster claw" wheels might be a pain to sand down and polish.


It would definitely be easier to scuff them up and paint them, but if you want to look good and different... polish.

I have 2 sets to paint, the standard twist and the S version twist. I havent seen any polished, but already spent $200 on paint supplies and clear!

Shoot with 8 wheels might as well try and polish one. See how it looks. I mean you're gonna sand them down a bit anyway, just throw some etching compound and primer on the one wheel you polish if you don't like it. Just my $.02


Post some pics before and after whatever you decide.
