They are fairly easy to find used. They should polish up ok, I hope, because I plan on using mine for a while yet.

I am the farthest thing from a Mag wheel expert as there can be. I am just going by what a couple of the local tire shops told me along with the parts guy when I went in to buy some lug nuts. According to the PO they have been on the blazer since at LEAST the early 80's maybe longer. I know they are very hard to clean and the best I could get them came after alot of scrubbing with
Eagle 1 Mag Cleaner. They don't look like any aluminum wheel I have seen but I could be wrong. Any way to check for sure? I'm EXTREMEMLY curious now!
Here are some "after scrubbing" closeup pics and a pic of the Mag Shank style lug they require.
