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.

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

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

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 ****. we sanded for 2 days straight basically. we sanded by hand.
get that polished it looks badass..i love how mine looks lol
