well you know how the si rims have a funny oem clear coat on them if you look up close you can see a bunch of lines ... i wanted to see how it would look if you wet sanded the stock clear coat off and sanded .... or if you just cleaned of the rim really really good and did a really light clear over the stock clear coat so it will still have that oem look too it
