Got used to them now-they give a noticeably firmer ride tthan the standard 15's, and I think they suit the car well. They were in fairly good condition when I got them (although the outer rim on the front rims were a bit pitted-nothing that a Scotchbrite pad ands a little polish didn't sort. However, I really want to polish the outer lip of the wheels but removing the paint is very difficult (at least compared to the average motorcycle wheel). The main part of the wheels are really good, so do not need to do anything to them-anyone have any suggestions as to how to remove the paint so that I can polish the rim?

Bad finish and they mark with every splash of water and brake dust. Thats even with brake dust barrier polish! Will have them stripped and sprayed soon!

They are going to redo them asap but first job is fixing the crash damage that my car sustained when i was hit from behind today
