RS rims Polished

Hey I am bored of my rims and I dont got the money for a nice set yet so I am thinking of things to do to mine. I saw some one post a pic awhile back with their rims totally polished or it could have been chromed, dont know for sure. I didnt really like the way they looked but I started thinking about just polishing the ridges of the RS rim. If you dont know whut I am talkin about, I am talking about that rim that goes around the rime where they mount the weights and those ridges that run to the center of the wheel. Does anyone have a pick of it or know anything about it? Thanks

Just follow the regular polishing directions, but only do the sections you want.

I think your rims look pretty good in this picture. If it was me and I was gonna keep the stock "15 wheels, I'd polish them and get a slightly lower profile, non-white lettered tire. Then drop the car a little.

I wouldn't go with lower profile tires on 15's......no only will it mess up your speedo, odometer, ect.....but it will look kinda ghetto IMHO. If you like the appearance go for it, but I'd at least think about the disadvantages as far as the mechanical stuff goes.
