I would leave them the way they are. All the color combos just seem to be "reaching" a bit too hard IMO, at least for a GG. Clean is good. Cheap is good. Done is great. Good job

Awdturb4 thanks for the red look. im liking the completely polsihed with a red lip look. For all you guy that say just say clear them. Once they are all polished what do i do to clear them? Can i just spay rattle can clear them? Can i take them to a powder coaters and get them to powder coat a clear on them? Im still suprised that people like the look of them just polished on a GG car




and for the guy that wanted to see pic of the Syclone here u go but lets not get offtopic haha

And for the people who asked how i polished them it was actually a mistake. Like i said i painted them black it came out crap so i had some AIRCRAFT STRIPPER in the garge and sprayed it on them let it sit for about 10 mins and as they where sitting the lip was the first thing that came clean i was like wow that lip is def staying and the more i worked on the wheel the better it came out. The shine of the wheel right now is just stripped and Mother polished rubbed out by hand. Today i am going to go pick up the Mothers Powerball and rub them out with a that on a electric drill im sure just like most polished stuff the more u polish it the brighter it will get.

I like them polished. It would be different from all the other cars with colored wheels. There was a picture of an STI with polished P45s a couple weeks back and it looked sick.

I like the polished w/ red lip on the bottom of p.3. Polished wheels are nice on almost any color.

After all that work and having a custom set of wheels (as they dont come polished) Leave them!!! Why would you remove all the paint and buff them just to paint them now.. I like em the way they are.. POLISHED!!!

thanks for all the help guys im going to polish all 4 wheels and see how i like them once they are all done. Possible going all polished or all polished with a red lip (like being different not that having polished P45R isnt different enough.)

Does anyone know the paint good for the BBS? This is also an option
