    IMO I would leave them the way they are...but Im old school...I loike the look of polished aluminum better than chrome...BTW The day I got my wheels I had the powdercoated with clear...NO MORE POLISHING!!! You should do the same...allz I gotta do is hit mine with the water hose every now and again
