Check out what I did to my rims.
I was getting tired of my all black SS 10-spokes. I wanted something with a polished lip, but of course didnt want to spend money. Then I had a brilliant idea. . .and it worked!
I jacked up the rear of my car and had my friend sit in it and work the throttle (thanks Jimmy) then I used a razor blade, then a steak knife (lol), then sand paper and eventually metal polish so remove the paint from the lip and polish it. I only finished the rears. Ill get some good daytime pics when I finish all 4.
Oh yeah, Im not liable for any of you dumbasses that try this and accidentally send your car into your kitchen, dont use cruise controll, get a friend to help you.
