All though I have seen polished Dymags; I don't think polishing Magnesium is recommended!!!

magnesium tends to turn black quickly alot of effort to maintain the shine

My Challenge car had polished Dymags for some period of time. I may try to polish them and see how long it lasts...not very long if I had to guess....

I was just making the comment from an aesthetics point. Whether it was practical to do or not is not something I was suggesting. Just a polished look up against the silver would be cool IMO.

If you could find a set of the fake Dymags that are made of Aluminum; they would polish up nicely!!!

No you are right alot of old hot rodders do it, just takes alot of work. I think the magnesium fear is overplayed.....go on ebay and look at all of the bare gasser wheels for sale and then restored and put on vehicles.
