Are GTA wheels polished

Please I need to know b/c I am getting my wheels redone and I need to know weather to tell them to polish it or just cleare coat the Alum.

The reason i don't know is b/c the person who painted the car was a friend and I asked him if he would re spray the gold on the wheels and when he media blased it he took it all down to the aluminuim and painted the rim silver and the crosslaces gold And I do not like it. So I am haveing them redone profesionally.

Please I need help, Hope to redo them soon

Have them polish the lip, but paint the crosslace black.

Thanks, that really helped

Those are some nice wheels zepher

I am going to mine gold

Do you think I should just learn how to polish and do it myself or do you think I should send them off
