Although they do look pretty nice as is, I agree that a nice polishing would look sweet. What are your wheel and tire specs?

I like them the way they are. I say just refinish them the same finish

Edit: On second thought I would do black chrome with machined surface with chrome lip like the Weds Kranze Vishunu
DAAAAAYUM!!!

Well thats chrome. Yes you can polish wheels almost to a chrome finish but the s#!tty part is that you have to keep polishing them to keep them that shiny. You're be better off having them chrome plated instead.
