I have seen better, and I have seen worse. Tell me what you think. I spent about 4-5 hours on each one. I am a pro by no means and you can tell.

They look pretty damn good. Just wondering, why didn't you get them statically balanced?

Is that where they use the sticky weights??? If so, I don't think they had them where I got my tires at. I am not sure though

Looking good. I love polished IROC wheels, do you blame me?

Also, remove the weights before you polish, then have them balanced with the shop putting the weight on the inside of the wheel. Makes them look a little better with no weights.
