So i want to re-do my wheels on the roadster. I was thinking something chrome-y, but i dont want to spend a fortune on it. I would like to paint it something like [this](http://www.kustomrides.com/supplies/ghost-chrome.html), but i started thinking about just polishing them. They would look something like this when done: ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/DSCN0023.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/DSCN0023.jpg) So my question is, has anyone polished their aluminum wheels? Or know anyone around here that does? ---

I did a quick job on the wheels on the jeep, with mothers powerball and aluminum polish. They came out okay for the condition they were in, I did wet sand down some very rough spots with 2000 grit. it just takes a long time and you will be hurting after, sometimes it is just easier to pay someone else to do it. ^those wheels are in a lot better shape. ---

well my current wheels will just be sandblasted (they are painted now), so i will have grinding and polishing to do… thats why i’m wondering also if there are any places around here that do it. ---

I would lose my fucking mind trying to polish wheels like that. That paint you put up though is pretty nice. ---
