i think it depends on the wheels. if they are painted. ie. blue, black, etc.. i think you go with a 400 grit for final sanding. there is a part in here that goes into detail. the guy talks about putting the car up on stands and everything for doing the rear wheels.. it's in this forum.

check the sticky at the top of this forum.. it may help you.
