i tried the powerball on my ccw 505a's and wasnt happy with the results so i just spent hours of polishing them by hand... along with lots of beer by my side!
had the best results with mothers billet polish, but i have heard good things about that adams polish, but have not tried it yet! nice find and good luck polishing!

Sooooo... after spending half the day at a body shop trying to get my 19 x 13 inch wheels to fit, I've come to the conclusion that there's no way I can get around not tubbing my car if I wanna get my wheels to fit properly without raising my car up. Granted your wheels are an inch narrower than mine, but you have the same size tires, and I can't see how you're gonna be able to drive around without cutting your tires to shreds.

They came off a LS1 Camaro that had seen better days...lol
When I dismounted the front tires, there was writing that said Corvette.

The Noxol does a great job of polishing it to a shitty level and the Mothers billet shines em up all pretty

I'll be working on them today, gonna file down the curb rash, sand'em down & then polish them if I have a chance...or I might just wait on the polishing until I get my Adams Metal Polishes. (#1& #2)
Either way, I hope to post live of my progress later on.

Haven't had a chance to work on the fitment, maybe next week.
I dismounted all the tires and it looks like they are 19x10's & 19x11's that were meant for a vette.
I really don't want 345's, I might just buy some 335's to get the look I want.

Thanks for the words of encouragement fellas!
This really is a lot of work!!!
So after I was done with the filing, I started to wet sand one with 400, 600 & and then 800...
I will hit it with 1000, then I'll hit it all with 1500 followed by 2000 and then I'll polish them when I receive my Adams.
I filed down all of them right after another, but I'm gonna wet sand one at a time.
Again, this is a mess load of work!
