Im not going to "buy" wheels that are for winter use only. Ill keep these and most likely paint them. If i get a bug up my butt and become really bored i may polish them but i doubt it as its a lot of work.

Definitely paint them. Keeping up with the maintenance required for polished wheels that are just winter wheels would not be worth it.

I say paint them gunmetal.
