    Some of these guys spend more time and effort making stuff look worse...just another trend.

    If you're Polish, I think that you're Polish and that's it. I don't think you can "UN-Polish".
    So be proud.
    As far as un-Polish-ing your wheels, I don't think they were made in Poland.

    You will never get them 100% the same shine. Use some SOS pads in the old wheels to shine them up some...then use some SOS pads on the new wheels to dull them down. That should get them somewhat close.
    Might have to use some Ajax cleanser and a SOS pad on the new wheels to lightly scratch them up.
    But I would mostly concentrate on shining up the old wheels...after the SOS pads, the next step would be using some mag wheel polish (any brand will work ok) with some soft rags and elbow grease!
