Nice work Amanda!! Looks really good!!

umm well if u do get some on ur tires like i did i just wiped it off with a rag i didnt want to take that chance either and its ALOT of work lol fuzzy made it look easy :|

about 95% done:P still have a little bit to do in where the lugs and in between the spokes are...but im pleased with it :D

WOW didnt tink dat they would look dat good!!!
HOLY !!!
maybe if do wana trade 4 my blades let me kno ...!!!
NOT lol
but still it looks goood great job !!

Girl that looks MINT!

next time i see you amanda, ull be bawling with those rims eh hahaha. good job!

looks good! keep goin, but if you want them to bling more you gotta sand it with 2000 gritt alot more and then rub the mothers polish into them.

i'm impressed ! lookin' good.

when you guys polish the rims, do you also do the rim wheel barrel also or just the face of the rim?

i did the insides ( between the spokes ) bcuz they were also painted and its a bitch lol

thanks fuzzy, and everyone else:P, i really didnt think they were going to turn out this good either, but i was determined dammit lol i just wanted polished rims, n buying a set didnt work out for me :P but YAY im almost done these 2 lol still have another 2:w00t:

wow your on your way! looking real nice IMO cant wait to see them shine in the sunlight lol, you can get those looking almost like chrome, seen it on HT before some guy worked on em for like 2 weeks or something like that and they came out super shiny

How long did you leave the stripper on the rims before you started scrapping at it? theres still small spots of clear on my rims:S

Wow... looks really good, love the way its looking:yeah:
