I am curious if anyone has polished the BBS vert rims and if so do they have any pics or advice.


Thanks (Any info would be greatly appreciated)

Why would they need polishing?

 

yeah they r already pretty badass on my sport a lot better than the five spoke gxl ones

 

Well, I am in the process of looking for a set and if they aren't in the greatest shape, I wouldn't mind knowing what my options are. (Polishing/Powder coating)

Thanks Kerry

 

You could polish the rims... but the center caps are plastic... so they wouldn't polish. It won't look right. Powder coating them BLACK (and painting the center cap part to match) would rock.

If you look, the center caps already have a polished look. Also, there are places you can send them to be "metalized". So, don't worry about the center caps. I would think polished Vert wheels would look GREAT!!

 

now that I really think of it they would look KUWEL! but would that be $$$$$$$$$

 

Got my S5 TII wheels polished out for $30 a wheel. Go to Tire/Mag shops. A well placed 6-pack should get you a phone number to the local machine shop that does this.

If you are in the Los Angeles area, I can hook you up.

 

If anyone has a set for sale, Ive been looking for a set of nice vert rims.... PM me if anyone is selling any.

 

I got lucky my 87 sport came with them on I got it from a friend that got the car at an auction but I put up two gee's for it so it is mine since like 8-9 months ago maybe I will look into the poloshing thing now that I just got a gxl as a spare parts car I can take the bbs off and have it done but I will have to drive around with the crappy gxl rims on.

 

Thanks for the responses

I have thought about powder coating them black as an option but still would like to know if anyone has attempted polishing.

Thanks again for all the input

 

personally, i ditched the center caps. of course, i only have 3, o i just evened everything out. i could have picked one up at a junkyard, but i don't miss them.
and i'd gladly sell my conv't wheels, but i don't have anything to put in their place. which design wheels do you have?

 

I have the 87 GXL rims now but this morning I just received an offer to buy a set of vert rims. They are said to be in great shape but only time will tell.

It looks like I will finally get a set of vert rims.

I am still wondering about polishing?
