Keep These GTS or Get New GTS? or something else?

Well i bought some used rims, the rear are flawless, however the fronts have hairline scratches along the outter lip. I think they have been mess with by someoone, pretty sure the anodized clear coat is gone, i know that i'd be able to have them professionally polished or chromed, but i'm sure i could polish them myself, problem is.. No Clear coat.

I can return them to the guys, (he'll cover shipping), and i'd give me my money back. then i'd pay $370 more (then what i paid(for the used ones)) for new GTS's, but with TOYO's instead of BFG, which is what i was going to get. However, idk if VOLK prices went up or if any places have Gloss Black.

Or i could just keep them, polish out the scratches, and wipe them down every week. The guys will give me $400 bucks off what we originally settled on.

Or return them, and get new rims all together, thinking about the gram lights 57s pro, with titan finish. but thats $1000 more expensive.

Heres pics of the crap.



heres some photoshops:





I really need help with decision...thanks

new may be awhile if they have to be ordered..something to think about.

or take the discount and call it a day

polish maybe 1-2 per month..not bad at all..probably would do that
anyway

ok, i don't think i can polish out the scratches myself, without using some serious stuff, such as sandpaper, and/or metal polish...
