    Arrow polishing my wheels!!

    alright i got bored with my wheels not to long ago

    this is what i started with



    i sanded the whole thing by hand
    used an electric buffer and a dremel for the polishing
    (bad camera and lighting, im no photographer sorry)
    opinions are welcome

    thanks man thats cool
    i just wanted somethin completly different
    i might end up clear coating the red to make is glossy
    still not sure..
    and if anyone has ideas on what i should do with the centercaps please give me ideas
    painting them red might make it to much red
    so i dont know opinions pleassse

    i cant go back now
    i have this image in my head and i cant change it

    it will stay

    thats something im afraid to do. seems like anything u put on it makes it like hella lot less shiner. so i havent figured out a way to "coat" it with anything. zoop seal is the only thing i heard that works. or just straight up nano wax with the carnuba. thats it. u find out something let me know.

    I like them, red and all. As far as the centercaps go, I'd leave them out. Axle nuts FTW.
