well its probably been done before but today i took off my hub caps and cleaned the wheels, there was alot of bubblin on the drivers side wheels so i sanded down the lip. what do you think? it took forever and im only part done with the wheel, i still need to sand it down where the rust is.

After

Yeah, new wheels would definitely improve the look of your car! However, you don't necessarily have to buy the most expensive to have it look nice....like what he said^

your 15 and have way to much time on your hands. Get a Job and buy some real rims. Like seriously you spend what 40min on that so pointless its like trying to put out a fire with gasoline. But your 15 so that might explain why.

Ps Drill or Angle Grinder With Brush Attachments would cut your sandin time down by 90%.

i dunno i kinda miss the hubcap days. the walmart car section was entertaining and a lot easier on the wallet... to the OP, not my thing, but i'd like to see the finished result. at least its creative.

Your car must be in perfect mechanical condition for you to come to this.

Or you can do this.
