Trust me i was worried but i did a small spot and looked at it for a couple days and said screw it. I slapped some paint stripper on it about 15 hrs of work and a headache for a few days from the fumes this is the end result and i'm happy.. Would i do it again ? Hell no !

Were you at least outside in fresh air? It looks nice man.. It would have sucked but it paid off they look amazing! I like the look of the stock rims but the shine really attracts attention

Call me crazy... but I'm wondering what it'd look like if you'd left the wheel lip and inner parts painted... and only polished the faces of the spokes. Like on the SS/NA.

It worked well on the 2.4 wheels.

I thought about that, it would be a lot less work. If i was gonna do that i would paint it black with the spoke faces polished
