You are a mad man I did this with a set of brushed pipes on a motorcycle and it took a week to do one pipe. I couldn't even imagine doing that on a set of wheels, but they look freaking great man and awsome right up.

Nice writeup. Can't decide to either polish or refinish my rims....

Polishing is very painstaking, unless you pay someone to do it professionally.

There is one more thing I thought of the other day; what if you sandblast them, with fine glass beeds, so the machine marks are gone, but it isn't as rough as the method I used. This way, the sanding wouldn't take so long.
