Has anyone polished there stock 16" gen 1 rims? I'm just wondering what they would look like really shiny. I don't really want to go aftermarket yet because I haven't found something I really like, but I like these rims, I just wish they had a better finish and where shiny. There on the car in my sig.

Thanks D-money and yesca, I might look into having them dipped. Il probably just end up buying a nice set of aftermarkets for them. Thanks to both of you for the super quick replies and simple answers.
