Same here. Buy someone else's beat-up set to polish if you want, but keep one set of wheels in OE condition.

I'd say gunmetal. Its very very hard to get a polished finish looking good. I spent weeks on mine and it never came out right so I wound up painting them again.

The only one that I ever got looking right after many many weeks of endless work.

IMHO, for a PY no.

Polished looks better on Black or CW's.

I say no, I have been digging that gunmetal on FBP look. My GSR come with stock silver blades, ended up painting it gunmetal. Now it looks complete.
