seriously newman, just have Tim and I take them to big d next time and pay a little cash (no insurance, but it’s not like it means shit anyways) but have us do them. I’ve heard about a few people on here having wheels damaged but with some common sense/ability and a sweet ass 4 armed coats machine neither of us even scratched a wheel in the 2 years we worked there. ---

> [@Bastinado](#): > > Wow, Kustom Workz really? > > Isn’t that place ran by like 25 year olds? Personally I’m not a fan of the place either, but what the fuck does age have to do with anything? Shut up, that’s the same as saying isn’t that place run by PR’s? It doesn’t need to be said /end l FYI i’m pretty sure the guy that Joe(nitro) is talking about is the same guy one of my buddies used on his one truck and they turned out awesome. FYI they we’re also close to $1200 a rim and the guy was full insured. ---

FWIW aluminum polishes very easily. As long as there is not too much gauging, and there is no coating on the rest of the lip you should be able to get it perfect within an hour or two. Good luck, those are sweet looking wheels. ---
