i started to do this same process on these rims that I got for free. A little too big for my tatse *17's* but I figured if I clean em up a bit.....I can sell em for a good price....or may even keep em. So far I pretty much finished one today and its lookin pretty damn fly. Good write up!

An amature should set asside 5 hours a rim to be safe (that includes painting the inside, lots of prep time!) - you HAVE to take your time or you end up with crap.

It's hard for me to gauge the time because i did some of them over again - kept revising the process until i got it right (i'm picky).. you guys are lucky! it's all written out!

if someone does this please let us know how long you took.
