Default Pony center caps

I recently changed the center caps from the blue oval ford
logo ones to the pony center caps. I just have one small
pet peeve with them. The chrome ring around them doesn't
seem to match the rim to well. I was wondering if I used a
rim polisher if it would improve the look. Can anyone suggest
a good polisher plus cleaner because the rims have a couple
of stuborn stains on them. Thank for all your answers.

Yeah, pics would be great. They sound like something I may be interested in.

I finally figured out how to insert a picture. What I would like to know if the are any good wheel polishers/cleaners to add a little shine to the wheels
to try and match the chrome on the center caps to the wheel. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Those look good.

As far as getting them shinier though, what you see is what you get with those wheels. They are painted. If they were chrome or aluminum then you could polish them.

FWIW, those are the same centercaps on the 19" upgraded wheels. They don't "match" but they look awesome the way they are IMO.
