i have 17''

Most likely uses the same centers unless his are some weird ones that uses 15" centers or yours are other random ones like 178s that have smaller centers.

PS: You will have fucked off offsets if you swap faces. You'll spend some time finding out the "new" offsets and then you might find out they won't work anymore. Just FYI; not all faces are built with the same backpad.

^ damn, i got my hopes up

did you sand them by hand ?


do you mind listing the step you did to polish your and what step you stopped on ?

i wouldnt use power tools unless you are really steady and even with your hands. i would get them either soda blasted, or strip the paint with chemical stripper if you are on a budget. then start with some sand paper, move your way up, and then get some steel wool in course-medium-fine-super fine-0000 which is the finest. this will take a ton of time as all of the spokes on these wheels require a ton of time and patience.

this is a huge undertaking, and I know as i too just finished a set. good luck

thanks, i have nothing but time.

after the steel wool do i just use the mothers and i'm done ?

soak my bolts in Dr.pepper , then buff them ?

what is the bolt pattern on the faces and size??

i have some faces that are semi polished they need a bit more work but the hard part is done. just a heads up polishing these wheels will piss you off and make you want to throw the damn wheels in the trash.

i would be willing to trade you if you can add cash..

how much ?
and are they 16' 34 hole bbs rs

alot of freaking sanding by hand, i lost my finger prints doing so lol.. i lost interest in finishing them tho so i have them up for sale.

best way would be strip the paint off with some aircraft stripper (very messy) than work your way up with the sand paper thats all there really is too it, then you just finish it with some mothers polish

-heres a nother pic

does a die grinder cut the time in half ?
- also what steps have you done to your wheels

yep, same stuff. if you're wanting to get them mirror polished it'd really help to have an air powered die grinder (dremel) with some buffing wheels

how much does that cost ?


also i might save the original caps and bolts, do i use the same methods to polish the caps ?
and what should i soak the bolts in ?

you won't really need a whole lot of tools. I hope you have a lot of time on your hands though.
