In that case:

DUDE!! That looks HORRIBLE!! What in the heck where you thinking when you RUINED those wheels like that !!!

Man, you took a perfectly good set of wheels, and just killed them with all that horrible polishing!! Just terible, and now, they are worthless. I bet you couldn't even get enough money to pay for shipping them now!!!

Just terrible!! Anyway, if you need to "get rid of them", I would be willing to do you a HUGE favor, and take them off you hands for the price of shipping to NY so you didn't have to take a bigger loss than you already did by ruining them like that.
