How can I make my wheels shiny?
Well, picked up the 86 GXL yesterday, and I want to make my wheels shine. I think they're the aluminum ones. They're not badly oxidized or anything, I just want them to shine. Any help is appreciated.

Rick

I think the only way to get them to shine is either paint, powdercoat, or polish them.

you can polish them by sanding them with a high grit paper and then using mag wheel polish. Im planing on doing the same, they the rims that look like the phone dial rims, these the same you got? Im just waiting until i feel like haveing a sore arm...
