    Anybody ever polish Alpinas?

    I found some in a junk yard about a year ago and they need to be refinished. I was thinkning that a polished wheel would look good on my car, what do you think?

          oh, that was my mis-reading. i was just making sure that the aluminum would polish nicely, just making sure they arent made of any kind of alloy.

            Alpinas don't really have lips. If they whole rim was polished it'd look pretty bling bling. I think they look best in their natural silver.
