It's lots of work, from what I've read... and you'll spend a lot of your free time polishing them to maintain their appearance unless you get them clearcoated. They do look nice, though.

How exactly would I go about polishing my wheels? Wouild I just take off all the the layers of paint and then sand them and then take some sort of compound and polish them out?

Re: Polishing wheels?
That's pretty much the gist of it, but it takes LOTS of time. I'm not sure if I even have the patience for a full set of wheels..
I try to keep my projects to smaller parts that only take 3-6 hours.

I started to do it...when I got down to the bare metal I didn't even want to spend another 20+hours polishing so I repainted...just go buy polished wheels and save ALOT of trouble.
