Hey guys heres the deal, i have a old 83, real nice car, the rims however, look like trash, oxidized, dirty s.o.b.'s, So i tried sanding them down, and all i got out of it was some really sore hands, and a quarter of one rim completed, so i got to thinking, there has got to be an easier way. So heres my idea, i'm gonna really polish the lip of the rim to almost chrome like brightness, and then just paint the 4 spokes black. I will probably do this tommorrow, and i'll post some after pics, but i was just wondering it anyone has done this, or thought about it, i'm not sure how it will look sine the spokes are pretty thick, but i guess we'll have to wait and see, any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys
Cheers, Matt

I have seen this with the GSL-SE rims, but never the 4 spokes.. On the SE rims it came out pretty nice looking.. But that rim has a seperation so it is 2 peices.. It just fits that rim..
As for the 4 spoke, i am not so sure it would look good..
Anyone try sand blasting the beed blasting or something?
