Not sure what's with the hating. I like polished wheels. Takes ridiculous amounts of labor for good results though!

I was thinking about doing this to my stockers. I wonder how many pits and and stuff are in the stock 06-08 wheels.

I like it. I'm sure it would look totally different in normal sunlight and super clean. Can't wait to see it on the car.
