I purchased this set from Memory Fab for a steal. Complete with original SSR center caps and valve stems. The finish was beat and I wanted to redo them in silver, but after thinking about it, I decided to save the original white. I wet sanded each wheel with 1200, buff, and polished. Did the same with the center caps, and used metal filler epoxy for the major wheel chip. The finish is still the original. I only used some white touch paint with a sponge to fill in the damaged areas. Here is my progress:

I always get asked about that. That is how I got the conversion. There is a little wave on the left portion. I might just cut it out and grind down the inside to accommodate for the charge piping.
