Polished BBS Vert rims?
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)

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.

Actually............
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!!

Nah, not that expensive...
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.

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?
