2 days, and alot of patience. Even tho i could have, I didn't want them to be at mirror polish, just look like raw metal.

But i do plan on getting some more that are already polished because my rims are messed up.

buy the storms www.centerlinewheels.com and save the headache

I like the Chrome look but the raw metal (if you polish yourself) is a headache and the brake dust will pit it; if you don't stay on top of cleaning them

later mike
