they can do all that but not polish chrome

which honestly i would rather do since its much easier to work with if it gets fucked up again

plus a high polish wheel is almost as shiny as chrome

Yep, I've had a few high-polished wheels. Getting them clear coated is a good idea too. I wonder how the clear coat would hold up being that close to the road (rain, snow) and brake dust. Has anyone done this? What were the long-term results?

Actually my problem with clear coat is, it sticking to a highly polish surface. Just like chrome, if not taken care of will separate from the parent material. It is basically paint and must be treated as such.

I have some TSW rims on my car currently I may be trying to sell.
Been drooling over some forged rims for sometime now so why not, and you are local.
Didn't really read if you were looking for something new or not but pm me if you are interested.
