I have a red 1991 RS with 16's and the red on the wheels turned pink and they look really gay now. I don't know what would look better, repainting them red again or polishing the wheels. I took the red off the front two wheels and they shine nicely on most of the wheel except where I took the color off. I'm indecisive as to what to do.

 

I think polishing would look awesome. Chrome rims do give alot to cars. But that is jusy my $.02.

I think you should put a rainbow texas sticker on your license plates, and a huge pink triange on your back window.
Oh yea a winshield sticker that just says
FABULOUS!!!

 

Dude, you're a ******. Seriously, what should I do. Does anyone have pics of these wheels polished but keeping the original red as well. How would that look?

Currently redoing the exact wheels(red)
I stripped the entire wheel and I'm replacing the red with grey. The other parts will be shined/buffed/polished. Those rims are easy to buff/polish because of their flat surface. I'll have them done in the next 2 weeks, currently refinishing 88 IROC rims. Just mask them and spray/paint the color of your choice.

 

sorry about the above, could a moderator delete one of the posts; it wouldn't let me!

you could polish the wheels and keep the red but i thought i would show you what i had to give you an idea........good luck i'm sure it will look great!

 

It's just py opinion, but I'd ditch the red. I think that wheels being the same color as the car looks like crap (unless it's silver, black, or white). Polished would look much sweeter.

 

Just edit it and take out the 2nd one. I'd do it for ya, but this isn't my forum.

 

Kandied91Z, you wheels looks sweet. Mine car is almost the same color but mine was called Fireball red metallic. I've always thought about polishing the entire wheels but I've also seen some with the original bright red color in the wheel and not faded and they also looked really nice. Anyone else have pics that might influence my decision? Oh, and thanks for the opinions so far.

 

So what exactly did you do to the rims?? They look great, but are they just stripped and polished or what?
