Cool Got my Bogarts...

I picked up a set of Bogarts from a member on here, I got them this week. My car is in the garage for the winter, but it is going to be over 40this weekend, so I need to put them on to look at them.

Any tips on polishing these up real nice???

I think I'm going to pick some of that stuff up. I have my old bent 18x9.5 C5 wheel that's been sitting in a box in my room for probably 9 months now. I've been wanting to polish it up and hang it on my wall.

Well, it is 40* out & the HOA has done an OK job removing the snow, so perfect time to take a look at the wheels mounted on the car.

Crappy pics, not a lot of options for lighting & angles.

I like!!!
