There are places that professionally polish wheels, but it tends to cost a few hundred all up. It might be cheaper to find immaculate XR8 wheels at a wrecker and sell your existing ones on Ebay...
Or you can DIY polish but it's a big job, you have to get the clear laquer off, sand it heavily and then buff with a metal polish. There will be threads with detailed instructions. |

Have to use the Yellow Pages and look up local metal polishers or wheel repairers
