Stick with the 10 holes. I love 1o holes on a car with a black molding. Red coupe + black molding + 10 holes =

Why not strip and polish those 10 holes. They look sharp when they are shiny.

I think he meant for YOU to strip and polish them. (No, I better be clear. You strip the wheels. Please wear protective clothing to do this!) A brushed finish that is even and then clear coated will look fine while you save up for dream rims. If you must have a shine, HFT sells buffers. If you have a good air compressor, you can even use an air buffer for the details and do a nice job of a polished surface on the wheels.

The pony rims are a strong contender, but I just ordered some Royal Brown wheel cleaner, so I'll try that first to see if it takes off the mystery stains before I give up on the originals.

Okay, so, neither Royal Brown, Iron-X, vinegar nor Magic Eraser made any difference on the stained 10-holes. Guess I'll strip the clearcoat and respray 'em when I have a chance.

On the plus side, I did find a decent set of turbines with clean center caps to go on in the meantime.
