When I dropped mine off (his shop is a couple miles from my house) they were stock, anodized dull silver on the lip and black centers. he stripped all the paint and anodization, polished the lip and pedals, then repainted the backgrouond. came out just about perfect. I looked em over really close and still haven't found a flaw at all.
He charged me $50 each but that price is reportedly higher now.
He took care of everything, all I had to do was write the check.
I've polished wheels before, no way would I ever do it again with a guy like Al Reed around.
On mine I just hit them with a little aluminium polish once in a while to keep em pretty, about every time i wash the car I spend 5 minutes total on the wheels.
I use wenol blue, works good. Pelican sells it, I can't say it's any better than mothers except maybe it protects a little better.
BTW, I use McGuire's car detail spray on the wheels too and it works slick. Just a little spritz and wipe keeps them clean and shiny in between polishes.
