I got a great set of wheels from Richard Despit? in So Cal at the G&R. Thanks Richard.
I waited two years to find a set of wheels in this condition and now can't decide if I polish the spokes or not.
My brain tells me NOOOO.
The rice in me says polish.
What is the concensus?

$400 plus shipping both ways. if the wheels are nice, there are better things to spend the better part of $500 on. jmwho.

I can do the work myself so cost is not the issue.
My problem is these are unblemished ,original finish and I just can't bring myself to put one of them up to the polishing wheel.
My benchmark was my unmounted/never mounted original finish spare wheel that came with the car.
Plus this is for the black car , the main task is to be a driver about once or twice a week. A/X on the weekends.

Ok, so you know the answer. Get some crappy Fuchs that need refinishing if you want a polished set.

Polish no question. They look great polished. Just the right amount of bling
