Quicky story for those who care: When I bought my Si, rims weren't in the best of shape, but nothing really to complain about. I got bored, my homie and I painted our rims gunmetal. I had them like that for awhile, got sick of it, gunmetal Si rims on an FBP Si just looked dirty all the time. So I took Airstrip Remover to them and they came out FANTASTIC! Well one day I took the car to get washed during my lunch break at school, went back, finished class, came back to the car and the sewer backed up, no prob . .well it oxidized the rims pretty bad. I don't know why, so i figured I'd try to polish them up. . .end result of that if you guys remember was this

So I just painted the front two rims silver .. but they weren't shiny and got dirty like hell and didn't want ot wash off.. tried to use the aircraft remover on it again, and they came out like COMPLETE ****!! So bad I didn't bother to take pictures of them. I decided **** it, gonna take them somewhere and have them re-polished.

$75 a wheel, I had them Polish the face and bead-blast the insides of the spokes. Only have money/time right now for 2 rims to be done (cuz I got new tires for them. HERE IS THE RESULTS!!
















<FONT SIZE="4">I couldn't be more pleased with the job they did!!!!!</FONT>. They look BETTER than new, and I LOVE EM!!

i think the price is pretty resonable too

WOW those look awesome! Are you going to paint the inside of the spokes?

i'm not going to touch them anymore, i'm done ****** with em.. been fucked with too much by my hands

but polished black on the insides of the spokes i thikn would look dope.. maybe in the future

why dont i buy new rims, because i dont have the money, remember, i only had two done, and i needed two tires as well, my other two dont need polishing nearly as bad and the tires got about 50% tread left

thanks again for compliments

 

They look great

 

Damn I wish this guy was on the east coast. I have my Si's unmounted right now. I'd get this done in a heartbeat.

Theres a place around here, my friend got his 928 wheels polished, it was only about 400$, but they were highly detailed and all that.

 

Nice, now lets see them on the car

thats alot of crap for one set of rims to go thru. they`re kinda like refurbished ****** lol

 

Those are some beautiful wheels. I like your watermark also.

 

they turned out real nice.

 

Those look AWESOME. I'd want to do it on my 2000 Accord SE wheels if I didnt deem my car worthless...
