I agree, I've had these things for a few years now and I just can't seem to make myself polish them...

Looks great. +1000 on the polishing, those look very dull and it would make a huge difference.

That looks clean as hell. I like the MS4 on the hood too.

Like said above, polish them up a bit and then bling bling!

Looking good...but I can't disagree that the wheels need to be polished. CCWs deserved better than that!!!

OP, kick me a PM. I have some stuff you may enjoy for those wheels.

OP- to Nick's point above...I use Adams Deep Wheel Cleaner and Adam's Metal Polish 1 & 2 on my 505A's, I highly recommend that combo...

If you polish them lightly every 6 months or so they won't ever get bad enough to need much work.

You can even toss polish on a power ball and give them a quick once over and keep them maintained. Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes a wheel that way.

Car looks great though

for polished wheels ^ he is correct.

worst mistake i ever made was waiting to polish a set of TT2's I had.

but i will say something that made that job a bit easier was taking the wheels off the car and laying them in front of me. i was much happier with the results. Polished wheels are easy as long as you keep up with them on a regular basis

Not trying to be a dick, but why have high end CCW wheels if you're not going to care for the properly? I owned a set of the CCW 505a's (Furious1's) set now, and I polished them with Adams 1 and 2 at least once a month, and the car is far from a daily. Trust me, once you have the all polished up, you'll be thanking yourself for doing it. The Adams metal polishes are very easy to work with and the results speak for themselves.

By the way, your car looks awesome and the stance is money.

Thanks guys, yes, less is more.

I will probably just dip them in chrome after we build our next house.

I bought some blingmaster like 4 years ago and I bought some Adam's #1 & #2 at least 2 years ago as well...I just haven't had any time or desire to finish polishing these wheels. I have way too many projects and vehicles to keep up with all of them. I barely have time to wash and drive this one.
