I just got done polishing my rims. I had these rims for about 2 years. I found this awesome write up on how to do this. It took me 3hrs each wheel but it was well worth it. Here is the link on how to better your polished Aluminum wheels

Check out the results

The first picture on the left is before i polished it and the other 2 are after
