Default Polishing Rims (Link to Pics)

There are some gsr swirlies for sale and was wondering how tough it would be to get all the scratches out. The pics are located here http://members.fortunecity.com...unny/

Would I have to take the clearcoat off, sand it down, and then reapply? Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, that lip is terrible. Didn't notice how bad that was. I didn't buy them yet, considering them. I think the other 3 wheels are better.

Take the clear coat off with jassco, sand the rims down with 600 then 1200 then 1600... the buff out. and re-apply clear coat if you want...but that's alot of work for that lip

I was looking at the pictures again and the other 3 dont look bad at all. I dont even think they would need and work. Maybe just buy them and look for a single wheel.




How much would these 3 plus the crappy one be worth you think?
