So since i have grown tired of my wheels already i thought about just polishing my 03's up to get a different look since i love the look of my 01 Polished Cobra's. I had read through a couple of How To's this one is a pretty good step by step. Yeah it is on a Honda Forum but it's pretty informative.

you'll have to be committed to polishing thereafter. Are you willing to make that sacrifice at least once a month.
Or you could just go chrome.

I saw the Tri-Bars Polished and thought the 03 Cobra's would look good like that. I think it would be different to have just the face Polished. Maybe it's just me but it seems as the Chrome ones have a more rounded spoke.

I'm sure it is just it would be different to have done.

After the initial polish it can be kept up with a hand drill and a flitz ball and polish. Doesn't take long at all with the drill.

I've noticed that too. I think having the whole wheel in chrome gives it that appearance.
