im not looking to spend any amount of money on making the wheels look nice. I just want to know what kind of wheel cleaner i can use and if you can clean up the curb rashes a bit to make them not look as obvious.

I was thinking along the lines of throwing some aircraft paint stripper on there, clean the curb rashes(so they arent black looking and dirty) and then put new clear on them. if its not worth the effort, screw it, im not going for looks anyways.

I bought these wheels b/c i got a real nice deal with the tires, steelies suck, and these are wider and lighter. I'm going for handling and autocross/track days.

I didn't buy a hatch b/c first of all i dont really like the way they look, but the real reason is b/c this is my first car and i wasnt into cars when i purchased it, so i didnt know what i wanted. Now that i have it, im going to work with what ive got.

anyways, i still they look awesome, so its all good. im not gonna pull the "its my car and it doesnt matter what you think" card cos i really dont care
