Default polished hx wheels

just polished my hx wheels and mounted brand new azenis tires on them yesterday.. here some pics...




yea had to use like 3 cans of aircraft stripper to get the final effect, and i'm probably painting the faces of the wheels gold when i have time on my hands... let's see other examples of polished hx wheels!

actually the entire process was spraying them down with aircraft stripper, then using a broken cd to scrape off the layers of paint off the wheel(apparently the previous owner painted the wheels a different color every other week, literally!!) and then sprayed them over and repeated the process till all the paint was off, then i went over each one with a green scrub sponge dealio.. and i'll prolly paint the inner face gold now...
