Default Polished C6 wheels, suggestions how to fix

Just got a great deal on these on Ebay. But a little disappointed upon arrival.
18x9.5 & 18x10.5's but look at the area around the lugs...can still see the rough cast. Dropping a small lug in just draws more attention to this area, as you can see in the pics. Should I die grind that area and try to polish it? Any other suggestions?

it's up to you. Let's see some larger pics to see how noticeable it is.

I'd need some better pics to be able to tell. If it's bad, send those things back.

Can you see the rough sandy looking texture around the lugs? Here are some more

even more....Hard to do holding a light and a Treo. See how about half way down into the lug shaft, there is a change in texture, and the rough stuff isn't polished or even flat. I just don't want to get in there with a die grinder and then the wheel not balance. BTW I only paid $420 + $89 shipping....yes a great deal. Don't want it to turn into a HORROR story so I wanted to check with you all.

Just leave them... I think you will have trouble getting in there to polish them up... You would need to get in there with 2000 grit paper and then polish it back up I think it would be a lot of work for something that no one will notice

I wouldn't bother with that, not very noticable at all.
