After:

You can even see me taking the picture!

Thats not the finished product, thats just quickly sanding & polishing it. I'm not gonna bother with the curbage on the lip, its only a sawblade...

Matt6003 09-13-2005 08:48 PM

That looks awsome!

Enraged 09-13-2005 09:40 PM

what about the spokes or whatever, the crevises by the edge? dont be lazy, go get one of those ball polishers and at least clean it up lol

islandsupra 09-13-2005 09:55 PM

toby, shut the F up.... and buy some god damn fighitng fishes.

PS - Shane, I think they looks beautiful, motherFUCK the "crevices"
By the way, I picked up a maroon glovebox that is in mint shape for you. Tell me when and I'll come by and we'll strip everything good off that car.

Millsy 09-14-2005 07:35 PM

Yeah, I know those damn chrevises as well as the center cap. I think I'm just gonna go the cheap way out & paint them an "Aluminum" color... We'll see how it turns out.

Enraged 09-14-2005 07:37 PM

What???

Matt6003 09-14-2005 10:41 PM

Shane, I cant wait to see how those rims finally turn out, im definately gonna do that to one of my sets

Millsy 09-15-2005 03:47 AM

Yeah, the bastard. He needed an engine, and he would've probably spent god only knows how much to get one. I figured why not bite the bullet & let him get the boost. We'll see what happens for me in the future.

Matt, all I did for a finish like in the photo was use a disc sander @ 30psi w/ 220 grit sand paper, get all the paint off, then sand it again with 320 grit.

After its all nice, I used a metal polish called "AutoSol". It was $7 at Lordco.

wow that is alot of work way of doing it

i find the best way to make you wheels shinny is


go to lord co buy air craft stripper only air craft cause the otehr stuff really sucks and makes a really big mess and makes more work


damp rag in the stuff wipe the wheels weight liek 15 mins wipe off all the paint

after that take like 700 grit then do quick wiht 1000

then go to canaidan tire buy teh the aumlen stick polish and buffying wheel for drill the stick is green there are 3 diffent type's


and after that you have mirro wheel

oh yae this shoudl take you about 30 45 min's a wheel for start to done


hope this goes wells wiht yuou guys i can possiles really fast and have mirro
