I WAS going to have mine professionally redone,

but when they said something like $150 per wheel i said **** that, specially because they would take off the paint too,and i'd have to get it repainted and clearcoated....

suck!!

Fit on Toyota = AE86

EDIT: ioTus, you should be able to have that done for around $75 per wheel if that helps any.

i got mine polished for $AUS 40 each.
i repainted the black sections with VHT polyurathane wheel paint.

you dont need to clear coat them, they are best if you just keep them cleen than go over them by hand with some metalsol or some simmler metal polish once every 9-12 months.
to give you a better idea the pic in my last post was taken about 4 months after they were 1st polished.
