Hello everyone!

I currently need new tires and I don't have an extra 500-600 dollars laying around so I figured out that I want to buy new tires for my stockers, polish them up, then lower the Monte.

I was just wondering what products/procedures you guys would recommend for polishing the wheels. And what springs do you recommend for loweing?

Thanks!

If they are stock rims, they have a clear coat over them so I'm guessing the same polish you'd use for your paint.

 

Now just to set this straight.. polishing makes them look like chrome, right? Because people polish their supercharger blowers (bumpin) and that's what I'm going for. Any spring recommendations?

 

i dont know about stockers. but i sure love blackmagics wheel polish on my black after-market wheels. it works very well in my opinion.

 

in theory, and a whole lot of elbow grease...it should be possible...

im not expert on polishing, but i would think to do what you're wanting to you would need to strip down to bare metal and start polishing with a rotary buffer (by hand would take many, many hours or even weeks of backbreaking work), and polishing agents (i cant tell you what products to use)...

i cant polish metal, but im no stranger to working with various types of metals..

if you're going to polish them to a chrome like shine, it's not just a paste wax type deal, you're going to be doing a lot more work than that. look at this thread on a different forum.
