I picked up my car last week and man the rims are not the greatest for a polished rim. Has anyone felt the same?

My polished wheels look gorgeous. I lined my car up next to another SS at my dealer with the painted silver wheels, and it was a night and day difference

Mine just don't look like they were polished well.

I like the looks of mine, however, I am an old school guy who likes the looks of the old Cragar SS chrome rims alot better. Also, these new style rims are a bitch to clean compared to the old rims that had most of the rim outside of the spokes.

Mine have hairline scratching and obviously there is a clear coat sooo I guess I may see the dealer about them. I just need to put it up against another Camaro with polished rims. I will make a call in the AM to call a buddy to have him pull his SS out of the garage to compare.
