man you want your black wheels more shiny...I was trying to think of a way to get mine a little more dull. I was considering spraying them with some flat black.

if they are clear coated, you can go out with a towl and some Meguires Spray-N-Wax and clean them and wax them also.......

speaking of wax, i need to put on a good coat of wax on my wheels...
