    Nice improvement over the hubcaps. I just can't do hubcaps. Ordered my wheels before I took possession of our C.

    So much easier to care for than polished aluminum!

    Ouch! The PowerBall helps but it still sucks. LOL

    I got a power ball but still just use my hands and rub hard. They are shining tonight. But, you are right, polished aluminum is hard to take care of. When done right, looks great. I don't want any more.

    Oh, I like them too. Got a set on my vdub baja. Thought they were looking ok til I pulled it up next to the polished Alcoas. Now I got to work on them tomorrow.

    Exactly, never polish them again. I will stick with my alloys.

    While it is an improvement over the hubcaps I don't like them. Maybe im used to Alloys. Different stroked for different folks.
