Those look great! How'd he get the plastic centers so shiney? I was going to polish my wheels, but I didnt want the center-cap sticking out from the rest.

Are those 15" or 16" rims? Is that a special center piece or was it on 15" rims? I have the 16" ones with the ws6 caps that stick out, I Like the flush look. Will those center caps fit mine? Where might I be able to get them?
edit: Well I bet those are 15" because my 16" slope inward and have a raised lip around the center cone... Center is diff..oh well..

Those are 16 inch wheels. And no, those centers will not fit your style 16" wheels.

That's exactly how I would like to have mine done. Was the price for all four wheels? I have the stock 15"s and would like to keep them, yet have a more updated look.

Did you clearcoat the polished parts afterwards, or is it just plain polished?
