    Polished style 5s

    Here is a set of staggered style 5s. I just finished polishing them and they will be for sale soon.










    I think the lips have earned the term "mirror"

      Are the factory lips cleared?
      If so what was your technique for removing it, than polishing?

        Only thing they need now is a coat of Nogaro on those centers. Look nice though!

        It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

          I used a chemical stripper on the clearcoat. I started sanding with 220, 400, 1000, 1500. After sanding, I used buffing wheels with polishing compounds.

                What would be your price on those when you sell them? I have a buddy with a 318ti that needs some wheel lovin'.

                Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
                Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.
                Lobsterbacks attack the town again
                Wrap all my things in aluminum
                Beams of darkness streak across the sky
                Pink rays from the ancient satellite
                Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
                Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.
