That is exactly why I made the (bad) decision to sell mine. As a daily driver at the time it was beyond impossible to keep them looking good. The guy that bought mine posts pictures all the time on CF and every time I see them looking good I cry a little inside. If I had it to do over again I would get them polished up and then clear coated. You might lose a little of the color and depth in the metal, but you could at least keep them clean and shiny.

Another option that I think would be absolutely badass would be a new technique similar to black chrome (but looks much better IMO) that I saw at a place called Advanced Plating in Nashville that I deal with for work. They did a SEMA show '69 Camaro with it and it looked absolutely incredible. I can't find anything about it online... but there is no doubt that pictures would never do it justice.

Since you're working at a wheels shop, could you possibly send me some ideas, or at least brands to use and to stay away from.

Be careful. I've seen way more people make them look worse with aftermarket wheels than I have seen them look better.
