Trust me, don't park next to a fire hidrant & forget about it - the scratches won't come out. I didn't break the hidrant, but it left some mighty fine scratches & broke my center cap.

I've tried polishing mine up where I got the small rub marks on them and it doesn't work. They are not noticeable but I wish I could get rid of them...

How about the chrome plated P O S's

I have the chrome plated aluminum wheels and had 315's put on. The tire machine peeled the chrome off. The dealership ordered new wheels for me but what happens next time I need new tires or get a flat?????
