Leave them polished

polished.

x2

polished

Polished. Hard wheels to find.

front lip is required or some tint

polish looks fine

I thought this car looked familiar... :lol:

keep em polished, imo looks cleaner

does anyone know how i could fix curb rash two of my rims have really bad curb rash and i think im going to leave them polished

step one lower that bitch haha.

if your going to leave them polished idk how you would really fix them, i used a dremel to get rid of mine before i repainted them.

I think polished looks cleaner, but the black wheels make sense with your hood and evo mod

i will probally leave them how they are i might just clean them up a little and polish them

sand down the curb rash lol mine had some deep scrapes in it and i just sanded the whole wheel down after i took my plastidip off and then polished them

do u have pics on how they turned out

yep. the dip was the "gunmetal" dip with glossifier over it. it would change colors depending on the light lol.

oh and the inside edge of the spokes are dipped black.

Both of you! Put the center caps back on!! :)

Twooz has center caps. They are painted black because they are messed up.

yep^

they turned out nice i might do mine like that and im missing two center caps so it would look stupid with two in and two missing

Awww ok :(

my cousin has some center caps that are badass....its the bowtie but they arent painted gold they are just like chrome or whatever and the bowtie pops out. looks sweet. too bad they are too big our cars lol

yeah i like how they came out. and that was just me and a friend hanging out and doing all the sanding/polishing ourselves. wasnt a professional job

0h and you get to polish the whole wheel instead of just the face of the spoke. i think it looks better all polished imo

I want to get the inside part polished. It's too dull

what grit sand paper did you use and did you do it by hand or with a rotatory sander and when you polished it did you do that by hand or machine

You should paint your rims white. White on white is great

used 80 to get deep into the scratches then like 220 or something and 400 and like 600 i think. i cant remember. the wheels arent perfect because we were tired as shit. we sanded for 2 days straight basically. we sanded by hand.

get that polished it looks badass..i love how mine looks lol
