Good tip on polishing...get some latex gloves (the ones used in hospitals), so you don't get your hands dirty.

i havent confirmed the size of the wheels (believe it or not!) but he is running Pss9's on his C55 and he hasnt done anything to his fenders to prevent rubbing so i know it will be ok. i would have bought it otherwise.

all good. just making sure you are aware of how they are.

the finishes on the DPE is not bad, but some people did experience discoloring. The E46 I spoke of had the Phantom Black which discoloring was pretty bad that one wheel looked brown while the other is black/purple. Your polish setup should not be a problem.
