*Help* Calling all wheel specialists!

I'm planning on turning my 89 Camaro RS into an Iroc clone. I need a bit of help on the wheels though, I found some 88-90 Iroc wheels that need a little bit of work, but what I'm really asking is..is it possible to make them look like almost brand new? Apparently I cannot add pictures to this..but if you would please check on this link where I have pictures of them all. Hopefully you can help me decide! Thank you!

Re: *Help* Calling all wheel specialists!

so long as there is no serious damage or cracks, you can defiantly make them look like they ARE brand new. Companies out there offer wheel refinishing services, and if you take your time you can go it yourself (polishing that is). if the wheels are nicks and chips, they need professional attention.

its all possible, just depends on the $$$

Re: *Help* Calling all wheel specialists!

Hmmm alright. I guess at this point it's more of a time thing rather than money. I only have till August since I'm heading off to college I think I might be able to find some that are in good shape already that I could just throw on my car and be ready to go! Right after I posted this I was able to contact a local guy that supposed had 2 sets in near mint condition with tires! So I might do that instead. Thanks for the help though, I will definitely keep in mind what you said for future reference.
