Might try it, would be easy enough to sell them on to a veedub lover 
Will see if i can negotiate a deal, one of the wheels has the dreaded worming

Its when water gets under the lacquer i think, and causes marks under the lacquer that look like worms. Looks nasty
Yeah, i'm thinking that too. Now found out the wheels in question are diamond cut, so not sure whether that throws a spanner in the works or not 
Diamond cut is a type of polishing, it uses a lathe to polish the face by cutting out the metal it has a different look from hand polished, you can see the tram lines.
You would have to remove the lacquer, the water inside would of removed the shine, so either get them diamond cut again, then relacquered, or just remove lacquer and hand polish them...but you cannot lacquer these, so pain in the ass, have to have a good sealant on then to stop them oxidising again.

If i get them, might just see whether or not i can be arsed to do it, seems like a lot of hassle. I'd love to have all of them mirror polished though, so maybe. Would they have to diamond cut the whole alloy again? Anyone know what price i'd be looking at?
Don't know exact prices, but its not cheap dude, like polishing, anyone can do it, but to get to a real good standard, only a few can and then want a premium for it
Yeah im sure they do.
Here's a pic of the one with the worming
With regards to polishing, whats the reason you can't lacquer over the top?

Will lose shine, then just look like silver paint.
Why all these people have winter wheels, as the salt just kills them.
Diamond cut is meant to be different, you could get them chrome powdercoated, but again only a few people use a lacquer, as it removes shine.

That's what I was thinking.
As for sealants, this stuff is very good

Can't see why they wouldn't, its not like the discs are very big. Anyone confirm 14"s will fit?
