600 grit first
800 second

1 can of color for each wheel est 4-5 coats each used (VHT Wheel paint gloss black)
2 cans of clear 2-3 coats each wheel

never wetsanded, no idea on the lugs, sry

as far as i could tell after sanding these wheels could not be brought to a polished look.

The reason I got them is because they are more exclusive than many other wheels. No one makes a replica (that I know of) and they came on relatively few cars.
