Wheels, Polish? Spray Bomb? Sell?

Maybe...there will be a 3-4 month turn around, as you will have to drop them off on your way out to Michael's, and I can bring them to SOP.

Here is one wheel I have finished polishing, I spent an hour rough cutting, an hour finish cutting, and then another half hour hand polishing it. I have two completley done, one to hand polish and one to finish cut, and hand polish. Then, I need to take them to my buddy's shop, so I can dismount them, install new valve stems, and re-mount them black letters out, and re-balance them. Ought to look pretty good then

Now you need to wipe them down with thinner and clear them with some engine paint clear. No more polishing

I wish they didn't have those stupid looking fake beadlock bolts around them, it would have made cleaning them so much easier. Oh well. I think I will try to sell them on C-list, if anyone on here wants them, I will cut you guys a deal on what I got into them, which they will be pretty cheap, just pm me. . I got a few issues on the 92 I need to get worked out asap, as I will be driving it daily again here real soon, the VW is getting torn down to do a timing belt, so I need some sort of semi-reliable transportation till it is ready for it's daily commuting duties again.

Ike, where are you getting the timing belt? My friend got a timing kit on e-bay, and then he learned from the VW forums that it was a cheap kit, so he got another someplace else. A kit has the timing tools and needed stuff.

I bought a kit from idparts, seemed like a ok deal, spent a few hundred bucks on it, egr delete and coolant bypass kit, special tools, coolant, new coolant hoses (from the "stealer", two slightly leaking). Still got to do an oil change on it when I am done with the timing belt. I hope it goes halfway smooth, gonna clean out the garage and put it in there, out of the way.

They turned out DAMN nice!

[CumminsPower59]

They sure did!

Wanna polish out my W9?

[CumminsPower59]

For the right $$$ I might. It went really fast when I got the process and technique perfect. Still, made three passes on each wheel, medium cut, finish cut, and hand polish. They really shine now
