curiosity killed the cat and i took some paint off one of the rims and polished it with little effort to a mirror shine.so all i will have to do is take the rims and have the paint removed professionally and they will shine right up.:tiphat:

yes,they are very worthy.the finish on these wheels was a little messed up from the previous owner anyway and i'm a perfectionist.they MUST look good !....

and here is a little tip for anyone that has polished aluminum wheels with no clear coat...you can maintain the finish on polished aluminum wheels no matter how messed up they look.

simply get some "3m rubbing compound A" .this stuff will take rust off of chrome.then simply wax the wheels for a longer lasting new looking finish.the eagle wheels i put on my wifes car over 6 years ago still shine like new because of this 3m rubbing compound.i do hers once a year and thats all i have to do.very good stuff.

Where can one pick up this 3m rubbing compound ?

Did you ever get them finished? It is the end of November and I'm anxious to see pics. :pics: I remember seeing a partial picture at some point, but it looks to be gone now.
