I'm so happy I'm "done" with polishing and all the wheels are finally on my ride. Snapped a few pics and figured I would share.

Thanks for the compliments everyone I really like how they turned out but there gonna be a b*tch to keep clean 
Oh well its worth it
Yes, yes I know I've been wanting a light mirror tint for some time now but money is a big issue right now, maybee this summer. Im gonna paint my front ground effect and grill and then make some custom polished emblems to match the wheels and get bowtie center caps, clear front and side markers, and maybee make an alum dash kit if I have the time.. but thats probably the only things that will be happening in the near future..cause there cheap

Wheels look great bro! I have a friend who has a '92 RS, and he put some aftermarket rims on his car. He got them from Sears, and left the stock rims there!! 
He'd really be mad now seeing your rims. Grade A man!

Ok so I'm thinking I'm gonna make some polished emblems to match the wheels... just a rough cut out, but what does everyone think? I'm planning on polishing em nicely and then putting body color lettering similar to the stock lettering or maybee black.. not sure

Those wheels could have been sweet, or sold for some $. Oh well, his loss. Btw, I like the emblem idea, let me know how it turns out.

Good job on the rims, they look great.
If you don't mind I have a couple questions.
The inner part thats grey, what did you do with that, just polish it the same way as the rest of the rim?
What did you do with the grooves, are those painted black or polished? How did you get in there for sanding/polishing?
