and here is a little tip for anyone that has polished aluminum wheels with no clear coat...you can maintain the finish on polished aluminum wheels no matter how messed up they look.

simply get some "3m rubbing compound A" .this stuff will take rust off of chrome.then simply wax the wheels for a longer lasting new looking finish.the eagle wheels i put on my wifes car over 6 years ago still shine like new because of this 3m rubbing compound.i do hers once a year and thats all i have to do.very good stuff.

Where can one pick up this 3m rubbing compound ?

Did you ever get them finished? It is the end of November and I'm anxious to see pics.

I remember seeing a partial picture at some point, but it looks to be gone now.
