I got some 10mm spacers as well. Was a complete guess on fitment but worked out fine.

I spent about a straight month ( straight through every single night ) getting the coat of white paint and the coat of primer off. Then the face of the wheel was not machined to a smooth surface it was straight up PIA to get to a smooth surface that was able to be polished.

I do know that they could use a bit more pizzaz and redo them this winter and paint between spokes as well. Regardless thanks for the comment.

what were you using to sand with, a penny sized sand paper?

Basically lol. I used a palm sander and a dremel tool to help with the very tough spots. And I can post more but they are only pictures of the wheels, this being the car pictures section I don't want to flood the thread with more pictures then I already put of just the wheels.

Didn't know exactly how to answer that. If your asking why it took so long to finish them my daughter is more important than my car.

I had these same wheels, and I think my problem with them is the same problem you have. They have too many spokes, i hated cleaning them and I know it's hell trying to polish them. Props for even attempting that.......

Pretty sure thats the same as i have. I spent so much time on these I just wanted to see them on the car. So this winter my plans are the following

-Go back through the lovely sanding process ( get the problem areas )
-Paint in between the spokes Black
-Install the red sprint hard decals on them ( Love it lol )

Thanks for the reps and comments fella's
