that wide body pic is killer. I want to strip my American racing wheels and make them pretty again but having to dismount and remount and balance 9 tires and wheels just doesn't seem worth it.. maybe when i kill off more tires i'll do a couple wheels at a time.

I really appreciate people going through the effort to restore the rims, but my opinion is that sanding back and therefore removing the concentric machining lines from the wheels destroys the look. My wheels are in good condition, just need to restore the clearcoat. I'll be going down the paintstrippper route so I can keep the machining marks. This really changes the way light plays on the wheels.
