I bought these last week and had some time to work on them today. Here are some befores of the worst rim:

Then I cleaned and wet sanded them on Friday and Saturday. Here is an after of the same rim pictured above:

Still not too pretty, but definitely prettier. I`m thinking maybe I should wet sand the spots that look like chrome now in the same direction as it would look if it was still machined?
The other 3:

Here`s the one I had highest hopes for:

So, the question is, are these good enough to go on this?

Should I wet sand them past the clear and polish them to a chrome-look finish? Should I sell them and save enough money to buy some rims in better condition? I want your opinions.
Thanks for looking!
