The ones (compounds) I bought were label as heavy/medium/fine.
These are the types of buffing wheels I used.
Buffing Wheels
Here a buffing kit on Eastwood.com that'll give you some more information.

Hope this helps.

I dig it. The chromed wheel looks great... What'd you use before you used the buffing wheels? Cause I know the stock wheels have this kinda texture, like a fresnel lens... Or at least mine do.

I used a steel wire brush (one made for a drill) to get that stuff and all the oxidation off the wheel first before i took the polishing compounds to them
One of these with a drill bit attachment.

I think I trust Denny more than the people at Wheelspecs.com, since most of them only like new style wheels.
I have a problem with painting them. But I don't wanna hijack this thread at all with it, so I'll go make a new thread.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY want Mar3's rims
He has some AUTO BAHN WEDS!!!! He just wont let go of them!!! They look similar to the enkies posted above..
But the lip is flat, and look a WHOLE LOT BETTER IMHO
If i could find some inbetween 15-17 maybe 18, i would be delighted as hell!!!!
I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY want some, and when im not as broke, i will hunt some down..... I dont really care if they are SE bolt pattern either, or anyother cause there is wheel adaptors..
Anywyas, those RIkens look kick ***... I have some 13" enkies that look JUST LIKE THEM! gold in the center, and a polished lip... Im thinking of painting the sides of the wires thingies black, and polish the front of it!!Should look perdy damn good....
And those polished stock rims dont look bad niether!!!
Just my $.02

Wheel adaptors?
Do they make anything that will allow me to install 4 x 114.3 wheels I have?
The 84 GSL is a 4 x 110mm pattern I believe. All I know for sure is my 114.3 Motegi Racing wheels won't fit.

It's worth a shot.
