Anyone have a pic of the HX rims polished????

Rey

just curious

Plan B

I think they would be hard to polish. But try it. I imagine it would look like a polished wheel, lol.

POLLO

Mira caballo.........

Look at Jay's car ( the guy who bought my gsr block) he's got polished HX's. But no you rather ask people who are 1000 miles away and you don't trust the one who's 3 blocks away from you

j/k

hah, someone just IMed me on how to do it, so i responed with:

(7:43 PM 11/1/2002) Airbag Club: heh, i did the polishing before i painted the rims, so i didn't worry about scraping the spokes. wut i did was first aircraft stripper the lip, to take off all of the silver paint which the wheel has. after that, i gathered a series of different grit sandpapers, and started sanding the lip. start with the smallest number and work your way up. i got lazy and left it at 200 grit, which is still very rough. i have been meaning to get back to work on the rims, but i have been too lazy. i also used a metal polishing compound, which gave the lip a little shine. hope this helps..

as for the center being gunmetal, i used duplicolor rim paint, and painted the center. i masked up the lip and the wheel and painted the center. it came out really nice IMO.

here is another picture of the rims....sorry i don't have any close ups of the rims.

looks REALLY nice. May I suggest to someone doing this to also try steel wool. It will conform to the edges and curves a lot better. IF I had some HX wheels<hint hint anybody>, then I would do so.
