Anyone know if it is possible, with a little elbow grease, to restore these back to that "brushed" finish? Or would my only option be to sand and polish/paint? I would prefer the OEM look. I'm trying to grab these for less than $150...

Can get a really good price on a set of Santa Monicas...Problem is, this guy must have learned to park by feel.

Their lighter than her current rims now right so that means less weight and better gas mileage right?
