WOW that looks awesome, I have the 99 spec, and I always wondered how they would looked either polished or gunmetal with a polished lip.
Very nice work, how long are they taking you to polish? Justus |
Very nice job, Is that your FD? Looks like you're almost done :p:

Oh man that is so cool! Are you going to clear coat them for protection? I have the 99s too and was thinking of doing this but decided against it because of the time it would take.

If you don't clearcoat them they will slowly dull. Wax will not stop this. In fact, the wax can get trapped in the aluminum oxide and look pretty bad. I suggest you clearcoat with epoxy paint.

Nice rims. Are any suspension upgrades needed with this combo? Will there be any rubbing issues?
Thanks and please post pics once on the car. |

Don,
Apprently there is a spray on coating just for metal polish.. It handles heat and doesn't yellow.. I have a catalog.. I think its 20 for a regular spray bottle can. Also, Stephen bought some polishing kit for his compressor.. Once thats all polished out, its going to be bad ass!! |
Actually that clear that Phillip's talking about is only $10. Its desinged spacifically for wheels too and its good up to 300F
I'm going to be clearing all the polish under my hood so it'll be maint free. Just thought you might want the info. Phillip knows where to get it so if you decided to try it out let him know. BTW - The wheels are looking great!!! STEPHEN |
Have you considered getting them ball burnished?
|
nice job
