   I think you can polish them but it takes ages and loadsa elbow grease. I could be wrong though.

   I helped my mate polish up his porka rings for his mk2 golf. Like dan says, lots of elbow grease and a sanding bit for ur drill!

    I think there is to many bumps and holes in the VTR wheels to do this....
    
    To be honest as well i dont think anyone would want to do this! I definatlly wouldent want to touch VTR wheels.
    
    God damnit and that reminds me! I have to get my VTR alloyes and my old bodykit back of the bodyshop! forgot to bloody get them when i had the kit and chromes fitted lol.
