Painted & Polished BBS meshies
Well I cant really afford some new wheels and tires right now, so I tried to make my stockies look new. Took me a long *** time with polishing and prepping for paint, but I think in the end it was worth it. Only regret is that I probably didnt lay enough coats of paint on the mesh. Well, here it is:

nice, I love polished lips, but now you are a slave to them.
I used to have to spend 2 hours refreshing my wheels a few times a year and I hardly drove the car.
Other bad thing with the mesh is when it starts to get dirty in the crevices you have to be carefull with wheel cleaner and the polished metal.
I had polished mesh wheels and just went over to 18" BBS mesh- did not want to deal with it again but man I do love those polished lips.

Yeah man I found myself polishing them about 4 times in a 24 hour period. I did have a feeling I would have to polish them up again with the sandpaper from time to time but I hope it's not as much of a hassle as the first time. Here is some pics of them on the car:
(Note holes in the trunk lid is a epic fail of trying to mount a duck bill. Will try again soon.
