has anyone tried polishing or sanding down that layer on top of the rims, mine got scratched a little bit and they are very shiny underneath. just wondering has anyone tried doing anything to them?? to make them look better

 

I sanded and polished the reinforcement rings, painted the rest of the wheel black. Be prepared to use a lot of elbow grease and time. There's one pic in my gallery but they don't look all that shiney in the shade. I'll have to go take some new pics.

 

so how did u do that just use sand paper???? or what??

 

anyone have any tips for polishing them........... how to do it>????? anyone

 

my friend ground the welds down smooth then sanded and then polished but that was insane work.

 

they realy dont polish verry well im still sanding on mine.

 

DuneRider650,

First you need to sand the paint off the wheel with sandpaper, or any other type of sanding tool. Yes, it is a b!tch. The better job of sanding you do, the better the polishing goes.......and looks. I polish with a die grinder w/a polishing wheel. You can pick up everything you'll need at a Lowes or Home Depot.

 

i use the dremel on the small tight stuff
