 Here's mine - polished and then left to dull down a bit - they were a bit too bling when first polished. |

You never said they had to be Fuchs
 ..........These are just polished, no use.........   Anodizing will soften the look but protect very well. Clearcoating will dull the finish somewhat and can tend to yellow sometimes. Cheers

Car is new to me- but po says they were polished about 10 years ago. Car was only driven in good weather so they are still shiny. No clear coat- just cleaned/polished when needed.

Not very recently polished, still don't know if I like the look or wanting RSR-style.

WOW... They look great! Keep'm Comin!
Im surprised to see that the ones of you that dont have them powdercoated still look So Good.. How often are you polishing the wheels and How Often are you Using the Car? GARAGED or NOT? Also, the Ones that have been coated dont seem to have much Less shine...
