In every picture, I was just focusing on the bolts thinking how bad they make the wheel look. Good job on the polish but it would look 100x better with better bolts.
    This is a good point. It only cost $80 to chrome the bolts for my RS 001's. Here is another tip if you decide to go that route, make sure that you clean up the bolt heads as good as you can either with a wire wheel or polishing wheel. Make them look as good as you can because the folks I used just chrome them the way they are. They told me afterwards that for them to clean up all the bolts would cost a fortune. If you don't clean them up you get huge differences in the shine of the finished bolt.

    You did a great job on polishing those lips, they look 100% better.

    Cheers,
