Hey,

Just wanna know if anyone has removed the paint and polished their turboII wheels. I want to do it over the winter. I'm just not sure if its possible with cast wheels??

I did it to mine, in my opinion it was a huge waste of time, they just don't look right.

Or should I say the amount of time spent could be spent working at a second job to buy some actual
cool rims. You will easily have a weeks worth of work into them not to mention materials.

Shiny with the lathe marks still in them, but not polished.
