Thanks man, yeah I'm deff not going to go EL CHEAPO on the drop lol, I want a nice ride.

Does Anybody know if you can use a polishing compound on these wheels?
I know their clear coated, but I'm not sure what the compound will do to them. I tried waxing them, but it's not removing the light scratches/swirl marks/blemishes...

If they're cleared I think you can use a mild compound, as long as you wax and seal them up after they should look fine. Think of it as if it was the clear on the truck.


But im not 100% positive on that.

Let me go see what my bottle of Adams metal polish says about clear coat.

well its only for bare metal. I think a fine paint polish should be ok.

I might just go with like a cleaner wax, then follow up with a wax/sealant.

Very clean wheel with your truck. I wouldn't sweet it over the GMC branding on the rims, I know I don't with mine. That is a crazy cheat price for a clean set. I would consider selling the tires (hell for what you paid total) and buying what you want.
