anyone have any experience doing this ? I've got it pretty much down pulled out the face, gonna sandblast powdercoat that so thats ok

now the lip is the tough part, of course i can do it by hand but my fckin arms are tired from sanding

theres some oxidization and light scratches in the wheel, very slight curbs on each wheel that i can sand out for the most part, i started with some 600 grit, and am working up to 1500, then buffing with compound and repolishing...


just wondering what kind of air/electric sanders everyone out there is running, possibly with a face that contours to the rim and any kind of polishing liquid.

the barrels are aluminum by the way


thanks

Call around and see if you can get anyone to polish the barrels, its fast work for someone with the right tools.

Google a place called destruction warehouse, another member had them do a set of wheels that came out very nicely.

Vin does them for about $30 per wheel.

My 19s look amazing after he was done with them.
