why are they still hazy & lil cloudy?????????????
Did you buy those rims used? To me it looks like the lip has been chromed or coated silver while the spokes were powder coated black. That doesnt look like clear coat peeling off it looks lke a coating chipping off.

yea bought em used... They were mint when I bought em but I had bent the lip a while back and got it fixed. This is why I'm trying to polish it up again since the shop I took em to didn't polish them. They just fixed and wet sanded and applied POS polish material

I might have to take them to a different shop in town and get em buffed to get all the small scratches out. It would def help them shine again but I don't have the tools. Brought up the powerball and they said it doesn't have the high rpms the wheel needs. Crapper but oh well

They used to be mine. The lips were supposedly just "high polished".

Ive got a set of TTII's i got last year....ive got the mothers mag and alum. polish but whats the difference between it and the billet polish??

I noticed when i got my wheels that there was a few bur like places on the spokes of one wheel....could i just take some 2000 grit sandpaper to it and knock them off?? I thought about doing it but afraid to scratch them and ruin the wheels.
