1 other ? Your wheels do not have the clear coat on the lips right? How often do you find that you have to polish them. I just ordered some with the polished lips and I hope I dont have to polish them every time I wash the car.

nope, no clear coat on the lips
you don't have to polish after every wash
dry them good or water marks will appear
however, its not a timely task and each wheel can be done in 5 minutes or less

Thanks for the info. I dont mind polishing them but was worried about water spots. It rains alot here in FLA and I dont want to mess with the lips everytime it rains. If it rains and I dont wash them off for a few days will the water spots come out?

YEAH, that polish is AMAZING!!! I just used it to clean up my new iForged rims - couldn't believe how well it takes out minor scratches and brings out a nice smooth shine. I also tried other stuff at the same time (Meguiars, 3M, etc), and nothing came close to the Mothers Billet. It's expensive though, about $14. for a small container at PepBoys, but worth every penny.

I used Mothers Billet and its pretty good (I actually like it better for stainless steel exhaust). I don know if you tried the Meguiairs NXT All Metal Polish, but its one of the reasons I went with Polished all over again! It makes it so easy and yields a great shine!

Thats just the thing, the Meguiairs goes on easy, and comes off easy! Give it a try.
