Well the original finish on the wheels is stained and I haven't been able to get any of them clean enough. And since they are all taken apart, there's no point in having dirty faces and super flossy lips. -
Here's some proof of authenticity and some pics of the worst curbage. Any idea what the best way to fix them? I'm planning on polishing myself after getting the curbs fixed. But this one lip has 2 deep gouges I'm not sure what to do with.

My Kinesis K18 wheel rebuild
So I found a listing on a local craigslist for some 3- piece 18" wheels and tires that were off an Acura MDX. Turns out the owner had no use for them and took little to nothing for them with brand new monster truck tires. Here's some pics of them before and after I picked them up.
With the 255-55-18 tires mounted, the wheels looked tiny. Sold the tires and made all my money back from the original purchase! With the tires off, the restoration process began. Now I was able to measure the specs on them. Turns out they are 5x114.3 18x8.5 +32 which measures just about perfect for my Altima.
Began taking them all apart and this is where I am now. Working on figuring out what to do with the curb rash on them and polishing the lips back out. Haven't decided on a color for the faces yet. Any opinions?
I've been thinking something crazy like candy real, candy apple red, or just a simple matte black or other matte color. And if anyone knows of some black Kinesis caps for sale, please let me know!
