I used paint stripper on mine. If you notice on the Formula Rim have these little groves in them. Just wondering what that would look like if you tried to polish them.

 

You've been here a while, I know you know how to search.

As for the grooves, polishing them is to remove the grooves so the wheel is totally smooth. It'll look good. Theres a pic in this thread I found:

Yeah you have been here for a while also. Just like all the others though I'm just a Lazy post *****. Man thats a old thread there. Its even got the angry Moderator Drew in there. Remember that dude that talked shat to everyone then all of a sudden he disappeared.HA

 

Yes, you are indeed a post ***** like most of us.

And yeah, I remember Drew. Things seemed to have calmed down now.

 

I think the T-A rims are the same as the formula's,
heres mine, the pic doesn't do them justice though.

 

nope thos are not the same your rims are the 15inch Firebird rims
the formula Rims are 16inch and have a deep dish look to them (and no im not talking about the GTA rims)

 

i have a set of 1988 formula 350 rims, that are just sitting around in my yard; i should try to strip them and paint or polish them.

but i am lazy and i need money i think ill just sell them; already have a buyer..



those polished rims look excellent, great job!!

 

That rim is awesome! I love how GM decided to put accent colors on the receded part of the rims, they really need to bring that back!

 

redbird_400,

I have an '88 Formula that I polished the rims on. I'll get a pic up as soon as I can. The finished product look great but is a huge PITA. I have many, many hours tied up in these wheels...

 

Here's a link to my site with some pics of my polished wheels. I used an orbital sander to make the surface smooth.
