Aluminium Polishing Troubles...Help!!!
 
hey guys i bought a set of 16x8 WS6 wheels at a swap meet for 100 bucks a while back...well i stripped the clearcoat but come to find out there are many imperfections underneath in the aluminum...chips, black marks, scratches and marks where it looked like something was spilled on the wheel...my question is how can i get these "decent" looking...im only using 2 of them (thats to 2 rears for my track tires) so they don't have to be immaculate just good enough...i don't wanna spend alotta $ on these...is there some type of wheel pain i could use that would look ok?...any comments would be great guys...thanks

Yeah, polish them all up real nice, take em to a paint place like Maaco, and have them clearcoated!

Polish them just using sandpaper and some polish... takes time. Goto a powdercoating or paint shop place and have the clear coated. Your set then

hey they're supposed to look like that... you have to sand through all of that until it's plain shiny aluminum. it will take a while

im not refering to the machining groves in the weel...there is nicks, dents and scratches...also seems as if a chemical was spilled on them cuz there are stains
