    Default SI with polished track R's

    Just finished these last week.



    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.

    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.

    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
