Default Rims - Before/After
well, i finally got off my lazy *** and cleaned my rims the way ive been planning since i got the car. the previous 2 owners really neglected them. you can kinda see how oxidized they are in this pictures. they looked white like salt




so i put the car on the lift, removed the wheels and brought em to the house for the weekend for a major face lift. here's some before and afters. not bad for 6yr old wheels i think.



<6yrs of brake dust/road grime

Looks good... Not a fan of the z06 emblems on a TA though.
