wheel refinishing pics
I just got my wheels refinished for a second time. First time they were stripped painted and hand polished. This looked good but was a real PIA to keep a decent luster to the shine.
This time being a little older and wiser I sent them to Pete at F Body Warehouse. The rims were stripped, painted and cut on a CNC machine to insure a perfect finish. Then I opted for the high polish finish to make them pop a bit. The real great part is after the polish the rim is clear coated to protect and I never have to hand polish again. All I can say is WOW. I wish I did this the first time and saved a few $$$$ to put toward other projects.
Here is a few before pics
Here is the after (can you see a difference?)

Re: wheel refinishing pics
I had mine done 3 years ago. and they still look grate.
and I just sent my 77's 15x7's to get the same treatment.
I should have them back in like 10 days.
no rubbing / polishing. wash um with a soft rag and dry. BLING

Doug,
Nice.... the 1977 SE 15x7 snowflake wheels look better than when they left the factory.
Pete from F-body produces some nice quality refinishing.
