Thanks guys. I think that color looks pretty nice on the 1g, but it's not what I was expecting either. I agree with Ryan - I don't want to mess up the shoguns - but I don't think I want to trade wheels either ha. If I rice this ish up I'm gonna get angry.

I have another idea. I just wet sanded a small portion of one of the wheels with 2000 grit. This removed a lot of the ugliness already - a lot of debris marks and junk that I haven't been able to get off any other way. (and I've tried just about everything.) The surface is now scuffed but at least homogenous in appearance. What if I just wet sand the whole wheel, and clear coat it with duplicolor clear coat? Anyone done that? I trying to imagine what that would look like.
