Lots of work but pretty happy with the results of my cleaned up wheels.
I went more for the buffed look than polished I kinda like it better but thats just me.
3 more to go still

 

Looks good

 

i like looks great

 

that wheel looks brand new !!!!

 

so used to seeing those look like a POS it stunned me. Hahah. I like it.

 

looks terrific...wanna do mine next??lol

 

Thanks guys the words of encouragement will help me with the other ones lol
I almost was gonna do the painted parts black but decided to stick with the white
.

 

Looks great, tell us how you approached it.

 

I stripped with aircrafter stripper sanded with 120 then 320 then 800 sandpaper then got steel wool the 3 grade kind you can get at wal mart or auto part stores used the medium steel wool then the fine to finish it up.
I did most of it wet sanding but not the fine steel wool that was dry.
Repainted with arctic white paint I got in a spray can and clear coated the paint.
Let it dry over night then polished the wheel with a nice coat of Meguiar's cleaner wax.
For the center hub cap just stripped the plastic coating stuff with the aircraft strip then used coarse steel wool then medium then the fine then meguiar's wax on that.

 

Looks awesome, do you have a before pic. Would like to see how bad it was before.

 

Sorry I should have took a before pic but didnt even think about it untill I posted the pic and I stripped all of the clear coat at the same time but trust me they were pretty bad not the worst by any means but still not very good.

 

thats likes great, i have the same set of wheels i picked up that needs some TLC work, now seeing how those turn out i cant wait to get started on my wheels, i also got some venture van center caps for my wheels those i like the smooth center cap better.

 

almost looks like you kept the original design on the spokes? how if you did?

 

I just sanded with the original machine lines to keep the machined look the lines arent quit as defined as before the sanding but still there.
Then i masked all the bare metal off and re painted and clear coated the painted parts only. The masking is a pain in the butt. I let the paint sit over night to fully dry then unmasked it then took a razor blade and shaved lightly around where the tape wasworked nice.

 

As was mentioned before, I'm so used to seeing these look like utter crap that its ridiculous how brand new that wheel looks. Keep up the great work, wow.

 

Done! lots of work but very happy with the results.
Thanks for the compliments guys.

 

looks really good. just too bad you couldn't keep the Chevrolet around the center caps.
