I'm with you, there. Not a fan of polished or black wheels. I had my SP500's brushed & powdercoated.

@Eshoremd can you share your polishing technique? Maybe it is the quality of the camera but they look quite crisp and clear and from experience that has taken me immense time and effort. So I'm wondering which polishes and what approach you've taken.

SP505s.... I may need to hunt a set down when they come available. I went with SP500 but love these just as much.

I'm at home and kinda hammered right now. Tomorrow I will post pics of what I used and did while I drink my coffee.
