This was at Lowes Motor Speedway last spring. Wheels are polished, generally speaking, but they hadn't been spiffed up for the show season yet.

This is a set that I polished a few months ago. These are going on as soon as I finish wearing out the granny tires I have on 14" Olds wheels. I can't wait to see what they look like on the car.
