Got a couple questions I got some CCW Classics today and I was wondering...
1. what is the best polish for them? Luckily they have black centers and not the polished or I would be polishing all day!
2. Does anybody use a power ball? Is it worth it to get it and does it work well?
3. They are 17x11's all the way around I will be running a 315 on the rear, would a 285 on the front be too narrow?
Any sort of feedback will be greatly appreciated I want to clean them up and put tires on the and get them on already!! Thanks...

Congrats on the nice wheels!
1) I use Mothers polish. Not saying it's the best, but I get good results.
2) Yep. I do. Saves a lot of effort. I get decent results from it.
3) You can get away with a 285. It definitely wouldn't be my first choice though...

Sand paper won't ruin the finish will it? I can get them out with the never dull stuff just takes a lonnnnggg time, took we 3 hours to polish 2 wheels... Just the lips!

It is fine to wet sand them. It will dull the finish, but work your way up in grits, then finish up by polishing them and they'll turn out great. 3 hours for 2 lips does not sound fun.
I wetsanded the lips on these from 600>800>1000>1500>2000>Polish. They came out nicely:

It took a bit of time since there are so many steps, but they don't have stepped lips, and I took the centres out which helps a lot. The inner barrels are being a little bit more stubborn though.
Those don't look too bad at all. I'd try a powerball and polish first. I'd bet that would take care of business. If not, hit it with a 2000 grit.
Nice wheels. That will look good on white!

Yeah on the stepped part of the lip is where a lot of the black junk is, what a pain! But yeah I'm definitely gonna get a power ball and see whats up!
And thanks man I hope they look as good as your wheels when I'm done with them
