You may have polished aluminum wheels. They can be very shiny but don't have the "depth" that chrome wheels have and unlike chrome will loose their luster over time and should be polished. Mothers makes a very good mag and aluminum wheel polish, as well as a couple different size ball like applicators that fit into a drill motor to make things easier. Most auto supply stores and some stores that have an automotive department carry them.
