Can I Polish my 2005 18" SS OEMs?

I recently bought a set of the 18" SS split-spoke OEM wheels for my '05 non SS Sedan. They are in excellent condition and I'm very pleased - BUT - they are a steel grey color, really lacking in their surface color. Very dull, almost appear painted, even though I know they aren't. Anyway, my question - are there places that perform a polish that would effectively change the surfce to a shinier hue? Not to a chromed, but at least a polished look? Let me know. I'm totally ignorant on this. Thanks, Scott

I know what you mean about the color. The answer is yes you can have them high polished. Just make sure whoever you decide to use knows what they're doing.

And they must be clear coated or they will oxidize and corrode if you live in area with road salt.
