Default Quick Question...
has anyone here ever stripped their wheels to give it an aluminum/polish look. I bought a pair of 17x11 zr1s and well they are polished. I just wanna make the fronts match to later on sell as a set.

Why not just paint the rears to match the fronts? Or use the aircraft remover stuff?

As long as the fronts are aluminum you can polish them
