Call me gramps!
Wow, it's rare that I'm impressed by much on this forum, but you really did a first class job on refurbishing those wheels. I started chuckling when I saw the first picture of your junkyard "find", and stopped when I got to the second post. Nice job. 
Sort of like the thread on AVS Forum where the guy starts off talking about building his own home theater in his garage...
And ends up with this.

Dam those look good. I have a set of vert wheels that I have been cleaning for 2 days. They look alright but I think I will try your method and see what happens

hmm i was doing some search for info on some wheels i sold, apparently they are from the same family but its a 16x8 +25.. sold them though, i suppose the 16x8 was even more rare as the 16x7 has ford knockoffs. (according to what i found)

Got three done and I think they came out pretty good. I got some of the curb marks off, but my hands would start to hurt real bad so I just kinda gave up on a couple of them. I had to use a file on one of them it was curbed so bad. I just gotta stop being lazy and get the fourth one done.
This was over a time span of about a month.

Those things look hotness. If I'm not mistaken those came off of a late-90's Crown Victoria. They are great replacements. I can't imagine they cost much. Great job. Did they clear the caliper nipple?

Yep your right, but I got these from a 89 Lincoln Mark VII.
You will need a very small spacer to clear the front brakes and nothing in the rear. To make the rears more flush you can probably get some bolt on spacer's. I didn't care to do that because these are my new winter ***** and the track is still open so I still want to be able to bolt on my drag radials.
I know there are some 16x8's floating around, but I can't seem to find a set.
