It can be done...you just have to prioritize. I eat lots of hot dogs, and kept my chrome 17" ZR1s wrapped in snow tires for my winter driving duties.

I can't fathom spending 30 min to an hour per rim!

What made you decide to go with polished over chrome in the first place? Sorry, I'm sure that's a newb question.

I went with polished over chrome to begin with because of the extra expense of having something chromed (plus the extra wait time). I convinced myself that it couldn't possibly be that bad to take care of a polished wheel. I was wrong, no doubt about it. If I had to do it all over again, I would have had them chromed from the get-go. The wheels you see in my sig will once again be my daily driven wheels...AFTER they get chromed this spring. I wouldn't trade the look for anything though (wheel style).
