no offense meant by this but, did you cheapout and do the wheels half-assed?
I think they need some more sanding/polishing... maybe it's just me. Other than that they look sweet though! Just the aluminum needs to be polished a bit more to look stunning.

I did the back wheels sanding completely by hand. On one I polished using a dremel, but that caused clouding which you can see in the 2nd pic. The last wheel I did turned out the best with no scratches. I spent about 3hrs per wheel. Here's a pic of the last one I did.
