Oh yes, they don't look half bad either:

16x7 +45mm (stocks are 16x6.5 +45). The tires are 205/55. These will primarily be the auto-x set but I may throw them on when I'm sick of the stock ones as well. They were $200. Maybe too much, maybe not, but I like mesh wheels so I'm not complaining. That and, aside from being nasty, they are in fairly decent shape.

Anyway, does anyone know of anything that will take years worth of brake dust and who knows what else off of wheels? I'm looking particularly at the inside of them, but the outside has some stuff I can't get off caked on them as well.
Sandpaper

probably, just paint them. scuff em up and paint them.
