Polishing Stock ims
I have the stock spoke rims on the 08 SSTC. Can I polish them with a power ball and some Rim polish? I think it will look great. If someone has done this Pics would be great to. Also can they be powder coated?

it's gonna take a lot more than a powerball and rim polish to polish your SS/TC wheels. That stuff will clean then up good but won't do much else...

you would have to sand all the paint off then use polishing compound on a buff to make them shiney, its a alot of work. i know i did the wheels on my grand cherokee.

How hard is it to paint them, what type of prep is needed, and is there a special type of paint that works best

Either keep them how they are, or have them powder-coated. No paint please!
