Has anybody polished the satin/silver wheels personally? I have access to some really good polishing tools and don't really see a problem in doing this. I will likely clear coat the wheels when done, any suggestions?

Of any wheels to polish, i think these will be simple, but let me know what you think?

Anybody nickelplated any wheels with good looking results?

Thanks,
Justin

I think POOSHDA attempted this with one wheel, and quit? Am i not right?

It takes a hell of a lot of work and yes you will have to clear coat them when you are done. Polish only lasts but so long and without a clear coat you might as well not even try. You will need a jewelers rouge compound as well as a nice solvent to remove the original clear coat. It really is alot of work, and I have never seen it done on Supras but hey there's always gotta be a pioneer right?

I have been polishing wheels for awhile, as for the factory clearcoat, I havent found a completely safe way to remove the clear coat. Although a friend says that some DOT3 will do the job. As for the polishing, I would go with some Jewler's Rouge (White Chrome[the white kind]) and grate it up to a fine grade powder and mix it in a 20 oz. bottle with gasoline until it makes a runny pastey texture. Put that on generously and buff your heart out. This mix will work better than any polish on the market..

Hope this helps out a little

What are your's now? They look chrome already, are those polished? Please don't dip already polished wheels, i'll give you mine to dip

By the way, how much are you paying to dip them? This is a little off topic, but has anyone ever anodized their wheels?
