Default How should i finish them?

cleaned up the car yesterday and got most of the water soap spots off.

then this mourning i woke up and tired of looking at the stock wheels i pulled out my g/f's dremel multimax and went to work sanding them down.

before ugly and dirty

I honestly think they look great silver???

They are oem lexus 16" wheels, it is what it is... I understand you want a diff look but I think they'd look worse painted in my opinion.

leave them as is, they are stock wheels. Just wait til you get an aftermarket set then you can re-finish them however you like

Don't do anything to them. They'll only look worse.

i think OEM wheels should never be color changed especially when yours look so clean and nice just get a set of aftermarket ones you will be glad you never messed with your oem's
