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!

 

I should have some time in 2 weeks to work on them.

 

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.

 

What is ur offset?

I'm only using the 345's cause they were already on the rims...

 

38mm.

 

may i ask what the heck kinda car they came off of? and who would buy a set of forged wheels and let that happen to them?

 

adams polish 4 the wheels, pm me for a local guy if you want the good stuff

 

They came off a LS1 Camaro that had seen better days...lol

When I dismounted the front tires, there was writing that said Corvette.

^ pm sent

 

Incorrect statement...in 1 hour he will have 1 perfect looking wheel

 

I've had best results with Noxol followed by Mothers Billet

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.

 

How are things going with the fitment?

 

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.

 

Here is a sample of what I am dealing with...

nice work dude

 

damn, dedication right there. this is going to look killer when it's all said and done. keep getting at it, it will all be worth it in the end!

 

Looking good! I refinished a set of wheels by hand one time. Took a bunch of hours but in the end it was totally worth it.

 

You could send them to CCW
I sent one of mine a while back and it came back as good as new...if I recall the price wasn't bad with shipping both ways

 

Someone dogged the hell outta those wheels!

 

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!
