[QUOTE="Steve@TF, post: 8495568, member: 40308"] hmmm...i guess we were typing up our posts at the same time... after seeing those enlarged pics, things are a bit different. i didnt know they were clear coated. we dont even mess with clear coating polished wheels any more unless someone absolutely insists on it. it doesnt last and we dont warranty it. maybe HRE has some kind of magic clear coating they use, but it doesnt appear so from those pics... lunatic, when you called HRE, did you tell them they were clear coated? that could be why they quoted so much, and if you didnt, the cost could be even higher. you may or may not be able to just send them to any old polishing place with a clear coating on it. you may need to strip that off yourself first. obviously they cant just polish right through it, like they could if it was bare aluminum like our polished wheels (and CCWs). at least if you were to send them in to be powdercoated/chromed, they'd acid dip them to get everything off the metal. so that might be an option to consider... i can ask a few vendors i know this upcoming week, though i may be heading off for a camping trip.
