I tried to polish these rims, came out better then before, but not the best polish job I have ever seen. I'm getting together money to buy a stealth ram and want to sell these on ebay.

I have 4, Im going to get the other 3 to be like this one i did, 2 have those tires, 2 have Dunlop GT Qualifiers I think they are. what would you pay for them with tires. The tread isnt brand new, but they arent bald either.

Well you could probably get a whole set of those for about $75, so polished, maybe between $150-->$200. Hell you might get more if you put it on ebay, those morons will pay almost double for anything... Good luck though, not many people want 15x7 rims anymore.

I say put them on ebay, add the words "polished" and "original" and youre sure to get some money out of them. Hey, if people are willing to buy $30 bolts, then there are people out there that are willing to buy some stock rims.

I'd say for the amount of time spent to do it, it would not be worth it.

That's what I say, and one thing I've learned with polishing your own rims, you really take pride in keeping them clean.

wow the rims on my formula look horrible, I tried that aircraft stuff and it didnt help to much...i mean i didnt go at it with anything else, i just sprayed it let it set and wiped it off. but it didnt have much affect. I think my wheels beyond making them shine again. it looks like some of the plating is right off of it.

Im not doing this to keep them, Im mostly doing it so it cleans them up a lil, and also makes them look a lil better over all, I want to get maybe $150-$200 with tires. Think I can do it. Im selling a few things for money for my stealth ram swap.


oops didnt realize I was logged in as my friend. this is actually me, 86FyrBrd

86FyrBrd: Are you sure you wanna get rid of those babies(I know you already got the other ones)? Looks hella cool man. Just clean the tires with the bleche white and armorall them(which it looks like you've already done). If the other ones you have look anywhere near as good as that, I'd prolly ask for 300$ for the set and wheels as a package deal(if the tread is still fairly good). Like others have said, try ebay, those ****'s are CaWayZ
