Default Polished Wheels

Here is a pic of the wheel before it was polished


Here are a couple after the polishing and then with the openings painted black.

I actually had someone polish them for me locally and he does do shipping out of state. He has done stuff on cars in magazines and he is very good. He charged me $100 a wheel same day service. I used an air dry acrylic enamel to paint the openings. He told me to use blue magic polishing creme to make 'em shine. He also told me to use flower on top of the creme to take out any scratches I might get. Tested that out on a scratch I got mounting the wheel and it took it right out.

The 90 wheels look the best when polished. I had mine done in Feb. Get some new center caps and some chrome lug nut covers and you will love the new look. Looking good. :cheers:

I agree 90's look awsome polished. I had polished 90's on my 84. Then i bought a 90 and put 96 wheels on it. There really is something wrong with me. :hat
