You will want to shoot yourself in the face after owning a full polished raw aluminum mesh wheel for a couple of weeks. Especially since this is your DD.
The upkeep is freaking horrible... lots of people get them only to sell them or send them to cal-chrome and spend $$$$$$$ to get them chromed.
CCW won't chrom and they won't do custom stuff, they do what they list and they do it ver very very well. I'd love to get classics w/ chrome barrels and lips so they require zero upkeep, but I'll have to deal and polish the lips etc. Going to get brushed/cleared centers on mine.
I asked John/Chip why they won't do clear annodizing over full polished and they both said it comes out splotchy/hazed.

I actually remember posting on autopia.com back in '05 when I originally got my polished Z06 wheels about how I could go about protecting them without having to polish them all the time. They suggested a few things, none of which I can find in their products, but it has been 5 years and times change.
