My wheels are grey coated. I've always admired the look of polished rims, The guys that I know who have sported them always said that they sent them off to have them done. I never knew anyone who undertook the job himself. How long does it take? Do you have to clear-coat them to keep the metal from oxidising afterward?
And then, to re-ask bgfootball67's question, are they indeed aluminum, magnesium or some other alloy?
