Default ***SSR Schumachers FULLY Polished Project****

I AM LOOKING TO BUY SOME SSR SHUMACHER CENTER CAPS 1 2 3 4
DOESNT MATTER IF U HAVE ONE FOR SALE OR A SET LET ME KNOW PLEASE.
<U></U>

i bought these wheels awhile back not in the best of shape.

i always wanted to have them restored

i was gonna get them powdercoated but dont really trust any places
in my area to do it.

i decided to go with a fully polished finish from faces to bolts and barrel.

i know some will like it some might not as of right now am really unsure on how i feel about them.

they still need a bit more work on the back faces and lug nut holes and little places here and there to make them perfect.

heres some pictures

I WILL UPDATE AS I GO

looks like you did a good job it mustve been a bitch doing the lug holes & that narrow space in-between the spokes better pics in light next to the car would help more

Was the whole process done by hand? Did you follow any DIY? I think it came out pretty damn nice!

It's gonna be all about what the car they go on looks like. If the car is clean...could be a nice combo.
