Black ones will look dirty still too. Go with whichever you like more.

Polished... I wash mine about once a week and polish about once a month (with the magic ball or whatever it is, only takes about 2-3 minutes per wheel). Few years old and no pitting or discoloring in the aluminum...

With Mothers aluminum polish and the Mothers magic ball, power ball? I forget what it's called. Goes on my cordless drill gun. I spread the polish all over the rims, pick the gun up and go to town. Then wipe it off. Move to the next wheel. Super fast, doesn't leave any burns or anything. And I meant 2-3 minutes per wheel. Used to take me about 45 mins doing it by hand
