I thought of polishing the spokes and the outer lip, but what kind of black paint was used for the black parts? was it mat or semi-gloss? any ideas? what kind of lug nuts?

but you can give any wheel his treatment ! polluted water ... salt ... brakefluid ... and then bury them in your garden for a year of two. (just be carefull that the police don't fine you in the harbour of oslo, getting that polluted water woehahaha !!!)
