I work at harbor freight tool and they sell an aluminum polishing kit for like $10 bucks in it is like white polishing tools to go into ur die grinder or drill. That or made of woven cloth that let's u get inside the spokes completely. All the sanding was done by hand even in between the spokes. It's is very hard work but the reward is amazing. So just keep at it and with the winter coming up take ur time. Once ur done definitely seal them with something and or keep them covere in wax and keep them away from salt

Hey man, I dont know if you wanna seal these bad boys up but check these out. I came across it while looking for some zoop seal. Made by the same people but an improved product.

looks really good. youd be amazed as to how much center caps help. i ran mine for a few months without them, thinking they looked fine. then i decided to dish out the $100 on them and it really made a difference.

yeah you cant fit center caps on the race version the rim is hub centric, the one thing you could do is find a way to make some centers that slide into the INDSIDE of the hub lip
