Fancy New Wheels For My FRC
Picked up a set of FIKSE Profil 13s (17/18) the other day from a local forum member. They were in excellent condition already, but 4 hours of polishing and love took them to the next level. Can’t wait to get them on my Pewter FRC....but you’ll all have to wait until April or so for pictures. It’s currently in pieces for a long laundry list of mods/upgrades....sorry to tease

Beautiful wheels.
Nice polishing job. Would like to see some pictures of them on your car when you get them mounted.

Great job making them really shine. Looking forward to seeing them on the car.

Thank you everyone! I polished the lips with Mother’s aluminum polish and a lot of elbow grease. The faces are Technipolished so they’re essentially polished aluminum with clear coat. Those I treated as a painted component and used polishing compound with a small orbital buffer.

Those are amazing looking wheels, even better since they don't have rivets on them. You did a great job polishing them.
