sooo I got a set of se wheels for free! well i had to trade them for my steelies but i figured it was worth it. They were a little rough so i decided to polish them up. I must say if you plan on doing this it takes a long azz time. their is alot of sanding time it took me about 2 hours a wheel. i gotta say i was sore as hell the next day but i think it was worth it.... I think my 150 dollar car is almost lookin ok. its finally in good running condion and all the rust has been taken care of.... but ill shut up now here are some pics.

i used a hand sander with 220 then 320. after that i wet sanded with 400 then 600 and buffed em... it was alot of work but well worth it.

Other than the fact that there are knicks in parts of the rims that you can't fix, everything else is spectacular! And to get those rims for free, an even better deal. You did a great job and the rims really go well with your coupe!

now i know how its done

[alkemyst]

make sure you clear coat them or keep them waxed or they will oxidize.
