polished rims

Ok how much do you guys think a set of polished 84 z28 rims could be sold for either on here or on ebay...and by polished i mean you can use these rims as a mirror

It took me 8 hours for each of my IROC rims. My buddy has the same rims and wanted me to do his, I told him I would for about 15.00 an hour. It's a pain in the you-know-where.

I would say it would depend on the type of wheel you have. I wouldn't think the 15" five star wheels that came on 84z28's would be a desirable rim choice.

If you polished IROC wheels or the later 91+ Z wheels you might get that much.

just my .02 cents.

From what I've seen you can't give those things away.

Might be different around you though.

I've polished two sets of those as well... it is a huge amount of work, but IMO for a street car they look amazing..... it's a night and day difference between painted and polished. It's hard for most people to picture since those wheels do look so terrible when painted.

Not as well done as my last set... but they aren't bad:
