I'm so happy I'm "done" with polishing and all the wheels are finally on my ride. Snapped a few pics and figured I would share.

 

Another, I thought this was cool cause you can see how it turns purple/grey

 

Nice!!! I really need to do that!!

 

Wheels are lookin' totally sweet man! Nice ride

 

Those look awesome!!

 

pretty nice ride man, sweet wheels

 

Looks damn good

 

those are awesome! now you just have to get your windows tinted like I did! it makes it look really good!

 

Nice job, those look really good

 

Thanks for the compliments everyone I really like how they turned out but there gonna be a b*tch to keep clean Oh well its worth it

Yes, yes I know I've been wanting a light mirror tint for some time now but money is a big issue right now, maybee this summer. Im gonna paint my front ground effect and grill and then make some custom polished emblems to match the wheels and get bowtie center caps, clear front and side markers, and maybee make an alum dash kit if I have the time.. but thats probably the only things that will be happening in the near future..cause there cheap

 

Beauty!

 

Nice

 

Are those the stock center caps? mine seem like they are plastic,I was wondering how to polish,Did you use same process as the wheels?
Thanks
Steve

 

Yep there stock, there made of plastic but the outer part has a thin sheet of aluminum around it, so you just sand it and polish like the rest of the wheel and be careful not to sand through it. I polished the black plastic center of it that sais Camaro as well using the same process and it worked well, but I would watch out for the chromed plastic I dont know how it would react to polish

 

Wheels look great bro! I have a friend who has a '92 RS, and he put some aftermarket rims on his car. He got them from Sears, and left the stock rims there!! He'd really be mad now seeing your rims. Grade A man!

 

Thx for the polishing info,I have a couple center pieces I can practice with
BTW,Your wheels look Fantastic,now if I can nly get mine that way!
Later

Steve

 

those rims are sweet, any one got any polished firebird rims?

 

BadBowtie, not a very smart idea... he could have atleast sold them and made some money...

Brock, no prob man if you need some halpe pm me

Pheonix, theres some firebirds around just do a search on polished wheels

 

Ok so I'm thinking I'm gonna make some polished emblems to match the wheels... just a rough cut out, but what does everyone think? I'm planning on polishing em nicely and then putting body color lettering similar to the stock lettering or maybee black.. not sure

 

No doubt. Another buddy of mine tried to convince him to go get them, and he never would. Those wheels could have been sweet, or sold for some $. Oh well, his loss. Btw, I like the emblem idea, let me know how it turns out.

 

mhhhhaaaaaa ha ha hey grngryoutmyway did you put that on with airplane glue ha ha ha j/k


:hail:cars lookin good keep up the nice work!

do you think we can handle any more posts about leafblowers, 2x4's or fur? man I hope spring gets here soon

 

everything looks awesome man....keep up the good work!

 

lmao I actually put it on there with masking tape... but it was just to see how it looked (in all seriousness I'm actually kinda confused how to apply them since the stock emblems stick out and the aluminum I'm using is fairly thin... Im thinking some thick 3m double sided tac an then putting a thin aluminum strip around the edge to cover up the tape... eh I'll figure it out)
I'll post some pics when I get em finished, its probably gonna take awhile tho as I'm pretty busy these days and have a few little projects going on with my car

pass the airplane glue, we need more fur!

 

Good job on the rims, they look great.
If you don't mind I have a couple questions.
The inner part thats grey, what did you do with that, just polish it the same way as the rest of the rim?
What did you do with the grooves, are those painted black or polished? How did you get in there for sanding/polishing?

 

I didnt do anything to the inner part, tho I should have atleast cleaned it up a bit while the wheels were off.. polishing would have looked really nice, but I didnt really have time for that, maybee later. As far as the grooves I just used sand paper, and on the sides of the spokes I used a black and decker mouse to sand and then painted. If you have any more q's pm me.
