I purchased these wheels on Friday. They show their age and have a little curb rash. I have broke down one wheel for polishing and prep for paint.

My dad had those on his Dinan 7. Awesome wheels when they were clean, but all those bolts made cleaning them a significant chore. The before/after is amazing.

What is the difference between Style 5's and Euroweaves? Also Bav Auto has something called "Style D" wheels? What the heck are those?
