reconditioned rims ?????

hey guys,
new guy around here. But anyway, to my question.

I believe that our 1990 Formula has some '92 Firehawk rims. While doing research for some parts, I found new ones online, but they want 1500.00 for a set of four. So, NO WAY !!

I do like these rims, but I need them refinshed. So I need some help. I believe I found a post about sand blasting rims, and I guess that would be a way to get them really clean. But where do I go from there. I'm at a loss.

So if anyone can throw some tips my way. Or if some one can restore them, can ya shot me something. I'm in the Baltimore,Md area. But can travel some.

Thanks guys,
~Drew

There's a topic at the top of the auto detailing board, all about polishing wheels. You should check it out.

Do you have a picture of the wheels?
