Message	good luck getting any sort of polished wheels under $1500 that don't look like complete crap. I'm sure there must be 1 or 2 sets on earth to prove me wrong, but 99% of cheap polished wheels look like complete ass. what ADR etc call "polished" is a disgrace. again, there are exceptions... but cheap wheels simply are not as nice looking as expensive ones. you CAN make it better when the price isnt such a prohibitive factor on design. Antihero These 2530's ain't half bad ;)
