This is why I went with chrome

Mine have the polished marks also ... On both cars, so I figured it was normal for these ...

I TOTALLY AGREE. They always look like they have brake dust on them. And since my car has white stripes the polished ones should match much better. If I had black stripes over orange the ugly Midnight silver wheels would match much better. I saw the same car I have but it had black stripes and the black chrome SS wheels, which did look quite nice.

Thanks Camaro5 people. I was considering the chrome exchange, but costing $1k with all the shipping charges I figured buying a set of polished take-offs from SLP would be a big improvement over the midnight silver dog crap. I paid $549 plus $118 shipping from ebay for the polished wheels with 10 miles. Now I am selling my mint condition midnight wheels for $500 WITH shipping- THATS A GREAT PRICE. I also now have custom boxes to ship the midnight ones in. After looking at 4 different new Camaro's at dealers I found the consistantcy of the polished wheels not very good, a few looked better then my used ones, but a few were quite a bit worse. One actually had a foggy patchy look to them- NASTY, on a NEW car-YUK. I am about to spend an hour or so taking my midnight wheels off and taking them to get swapped over to the polished ones. FINALLY the exact way I would have ordered my car, as I bought it off the lot.

Thanks again Camaro5 people. GOD BLESS and have a Wonderful day.
