Question can you polish 87 s4 t2 rims like 88 t2 rims?

AAs the title says is it possible to polish 87 t2 rims, as they are dull and don't have a machine finish like the 88 do.
Here u can compare the difference of both rims

to sand it flat, and then polish it is a TON of work. the answer is yes, but it would be much easier to just find a set of 88 wheels

Not many people like them so it may not be terribly hard to find some. I actually traded some old parts I didn't need for a set of them in decent condition, tires even came with them, too.

I actually have a polished set. You have to break the rough cast/forged/howeveritwasmade finish down w/ heavy grit abrasive papers. Shame you're not closer I'd sell them to you!
