*OH SHIT MOUTH DROPS*. I want those wheels man, that is so sick. Picture the spin on them going down the street. Are you going to polish the center caps too? How long does the process takes?

Its hella work.. Dry 220 to get the machined rings out of the SIs then 220, 400, 800, 1000, 1500 and 2000 all wet sandings..

Wow man, much respect. I have been sanding my wheels just for paint but I can't imagine them getting like that. They look great.

Polished wheels FTW!!! I did mine, but they are not as Mirror like as yours. Its hard as shit to get into all the crevices on my wheels so I just did the spokes and lip mainly. I actually liked how the wheels looked when I could see the machined rings in them, so i tried to keep it a clost to that as possible.

ya that is one reason i stopped, no one wanted to pay what i wanted to polish wheels. for ex. one guy on here, cant remember his name had a 00 green civic with a ls/vtec had some black rota slips, he thought he could just do it hisself, so he started and didnt relize what it acctually took to polish.

if you plan on doing this, the best advice i can give you is to have a extra set of rollers while you do these
