Default Factory Tahoe wheels

Has anyone tried polishing up a set of NBS Tahoe 5 spoke wheels over and above the factory finish? They look pretty dull new. How did they turn out? Any pics?

There are two types of the nnbs tahoe wheels. There are ones that are polished, if they are well taken care of they look really good, and there are the ones that are not so shiny. Not sure what they are made of though.

Well yea, the 20s, but there are two that look exactly the same, one is just polished the other is not.

More than likely there is a clear coat over the polished finish. If the clear is removed, they should shine like any other polished wheel.
