The wheels are alright... IS SSW an offshoot of SSR? +1 on the lowering. Would improve it 10x more.

To polish the wheels, you need to strip the anodizing, either by sanding or using oven cleaner. Either way, you will then need to repolish the wheels using various grits of sandpaper up to 2000 grit, and then polishing with various metal rouges and a rotory buffing wheel, and then finish with a hand applied fine metal polish. I would expect that to take 10-15 hours for those 4 wheels

How do you figure on quality? I had a set of 3-piece 16" SSR's back on my Accord in 1997....damn that's a long time ago.

They are 2 piece cast wheels which don't utilize SSR's SSF technique, if that says anything about the quality or lack thereof
