Just finished a JDM conversion and goin in for paint on the weekend. Iam in the process of refinishing my wheels that were champ white. The question should I polish them or just redo them in the original champ white. The car is also CW but not sure how it would look. Some input

CW 1 Polished 0

 

all championship white !!..looks better then polish imo

polish + black will go together

 

Here's the start of my stockers, I'll get them finished by a professional someday.

 

My thread on polishing my stock wheels... It drags out towards the middle, but just skip over the text until you see pictures again.

After stripping, bead blasting, and light polishing...


After bead blasting, I'm telling you, this makes the project 1,000,000 times easier...


Ballin...


I just put these back on my car with new tires, I forgot how good they look. I'm taking them off soon to reblast them, polish them after 2,000 grit, and have them cleared.

 

wow, very nice...lots of times putting into it

 

You're not kidding... God that project sucked.

 

Yeah, it does...

 

I say go with the OEM Gunmetal (NH546M) aka Kaiser Silver Metallic.

Go for it!

 

I want to see jdm 16's polished!

 

I'm feelin it!

From what I've seen personally, Solaris Silver looks like it matches OEM gun metal, better than Kaiser. Kaiser's a bit lighter, while Solaris is a bit darker.

 

i polished my R wheels ..toook 2 days..put em on the car and just reminded me too much of a 2000 gsr with swirlies. blingg effect

 

^ Agreed. I think I'm either REALLY blingin' them, or just repainting them back to gun metal.
