brushed aluminum ccw's how hard would it be to get the spokes of a set of sp500's brushed? or, is there a powdercoat that looks like brushed aluminum?

www.calchrome.com contact these guy, they can achieve just about any look that yoou can think of on wheels, i believe it costs somewhere between 175-275 per wheel depending on size and what you want to do, I believe they would machine down the spokes to a new suface to achieve a brushed surface and polish the lip to give you a two/three piece look or brush the entire wheel

Back when I owned CCWs on my GTO I asked CCW this question directly. They said I could take 320 grit sandpaper to them and just sand them to "brush" the surface. They said that's all they do when they "brush" a set of wheels. I'm sure you'd only want to sand in one direction (back and forth, not circular swirl motion), and would probably want to practice on a spare piece of metal first, but that's all brushing is really...polished metal that's been "brushed" by sanding it in some form or fashion.

^^^ Not a bad idea but you will need to put some type of coating on the surface once the new machined surface is reached, I would imagine that when you polish the surface again you be eventually going back to a polished finish
