Some trashed rims I bought last week: before and after.

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!
 
IMO the rims on the car now look good nice and clean if you put those on there even tho there is a big diference they are still a bit banged up sell em and stick with what you got untill u got enough money to get something nice.
