Thanks so much. As you can see in the top vs. bottom photo the guy I bought them from put some kind of coating on them to preserve them. It kept the spokes from aluminum corrosion - good. But also left the lip very dull - bad. I have been trying to get it off by running the truck on jack stands and sanding with fine grit paper. It has worked but only to a degree. Whatever the coating is, it's tough!
