i spent over 4 hours on two wheels and go them so perfect. then i made my friends do the other two and they werent as anal as me but still blings pretty good. now i'm afraid to drive it b/c i don't want to get them dirty. when it dires up out side i pull the truck out of the garage and get some pics of the whole thing:cool:

oh yeah, they are for sale:)

LOL come do the rims on my ranger they aint been cleaned since they got out of the factory in like sept 1999

I have other rims on my truck right now so I can polish my rims. Took me 2 hours and it only look marginally better. Old aluminum mags. :( What stuff are you using? I'm using Eagle One Nevr-Dull and it works pretty good. My rim's aren't polished though.

And this is the reason I only Buy chrome now...Screw Polished finishes!!! lol!!

Looks good man.....Till it rains or you wash them!! hehehe

the stuff i used is called x-treem metal polish. when i bought the wheels from my friend he gave me his polish too. it works really well but takes for ever. i was spending 2 hours PER WHEEL. but they were extremly water spotted and hadn't ben polished in forever and now they look chrome:)

i'm totaly with you. thats why the truck is in the garage right now (its raining). they are only on for about a week while i color match my rallies to my truck then they are going back on and these are being sold to fund the engine:)

How much you gonna sell them for??? my Father in law might buy them.

i might buy them for the right price!

anyone really intrested just pm me for details:)

Ditto! Wipe and run. :D

No they're not!!!! :mad: :D

my bad. i thought because of what you told me the other day you wouldn't want to buy them. but you got first dibs on them

Ryan, I use that x-tream polish, than put the metal sealer on them and it seals the shine, the last set of polished wheels I did that to, it rained the next day, but the dirt just wiped of like they were chrome....

i didn't have any sealer and it rained on them today while i was at work, i almost cried:whine: aluminum wheels are THE DEVIL!!!!:mad:

I use everything AR recommended for my Thrust II's. I use Eagle One aluminum wheel wash to clean them. I use AR's wheel polish and sealer they sell in a kit. It works great. No polishing for hours here. The sealer is the trick. Unless you seal the aluminum it is open to every bit of dirt that hits them.

Chrome is fine and dandy, but if it gets scratched, forget it. Polished aluminum is easy to fix, just polish it out.

Cool, I am going to have to check into that for a new set of wheels. Also, there is a clear POR15 that might be able to be used to seal them with.
