Are they deep? Does your fingernail catch on the scratches if you run it across the window? If not they can be buffed out fairly easy. Eastwood sells glass polishing kits for shallow or deep scratches. Just make sure you wear one of those filter face mask. You don't want to be breathing that stuff!

Hey Tyler, the wheels look great. I still have a soft spot for them, but I'm happy to see them on a great looking car.

Eastwood is real big with the classic car guys. They carry alot of nice stuff for restorations. I'm not sure how the buffing would go with tinted windows. I guess if the scratches are on the outside and tint on the inside it shouldn't be a problem.
