[DML] Polished wheels vs. powder coated

["sweetp01569" <paul.sweet@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am considering replacing my chipped and brake-dust corroded wheels 
with refinished wheels.  I love the look of the polished wheels, but 
not sure how much more difficult they are to maintain versus 
powdercoated wheels.  I know there's the issue of oxidation of exposed 
alloy.  I suppose the polished wheels offered by Delorean vendors are 
clear coated to prevent this.  I am interested in the groups' opinion 
on this.  I have seen the cost for polished at about $200 per wheel, 
plus core charge, and coated wheels for about $125 and core charge.  
Chrome plated version by one vendor was too high for my blood at about 
$1200 for the set.
