Well i was bored yesterday so I busted out the sand paper and aluminum polish and after 3hrs of work on 1 rim I was very pleased, now I just have to find 9 more hours of free time to finish up the other 3, 🤣 Thier not perfect but a vaste improvment I believe. Then after I put the rim back on the car I went to gas station to fill her up and as i pulled in the car died, and now wont restart, grrrrr! _ **BEFORE** _ ![http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g164/sloowrt/Others005.jpg](http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g164/sloowrt/Others005.jpg) ![http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g164/sloowrt/Others004.jpg](http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g164/sloowrt/Others004.jpg) _ **AFTER** _ ![http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g164/sloowrt/Others002.jpg](http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g164/sloowrt/Others002.jpg) ![http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g164/sloowrt/Others003.jpg](http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g164/sloowrt/Others003.jpg) ![http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g164/sloowrt/Others001.jpg](http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g164/sloowrt/Others001.jpg) ---

Nice. I have been putting off doing the lips on my wheels assuming that it would take me a year. But since your whole wheel only took 3 hours, mine couldnt take that long. ---

Care to give a brief description of what you did to get it like that? Just curious what grit sand paper you used and such because it doesn’t look like you made any scratch marks on the rim from the sand paper. Nice job! ---
