First time refinishing wheels (progress thread)

[AnchorsAweigh]

huge turn around on these wheels! great job

Thanks!

those look awesome. it can be hard to get a really deep polish on monoblock style faces but yours are stunning.

The roughest part was sanding out the machining on the face, it was so prominent. Got my new 8" barrels from someone off here for the rear!

Thanks for all the love guys! Debating on centers, might keep the one I already purchased.

Here's a shitty test fit photo, need to run less camber in the rear, lip edge is resting on the body
