well i got home at about 9:20 and as im working the next 4 days i said, meh, stuff it, ill go finish them now to get them out of the way.
so i stayed outside for a good hour and sprayed the last of the rims
all in all took about 5 days to do and about 20-25 hours.
i reckon they look pretty good atm. the real test is if i leave em on for a few days and see how the grime and road crap sticks to the wheels or not.
weather permitting, they'll be going on tomorrow after a wash and polish (i know again)
these shots i took are the best so far, but you get the idea.
in the short run, it was worth it.
in the long run, ill just save up for 19" chomies. (cbf polishing wheels again after this!)

anyway whaddaya's all think??

thanks dood, and you for one would know 1st hand what these wheels looked like. and i know you being a uni student and all it would of been hard spending so much time on these rims just to get em shiney.
i will give these rims another polish before im finished with em.....for some reason theres microscopic specs of dirt embedded into the alloy, which, you cant see, but as soon as the rag toches the alloy, its black, so i might give it a few more go's

if there alloy, frig, some autosol will make em look like new......just be warned, polishing these things will take minimum 1 and a half hours each rim.

be prepared.

shame ones as bald as as old man's head.

sorry people but i wont have pictures for a few months of the rims on the car.

i was hoping to put em on today, but my mum doesnt want me to....why? i have NFI.

so i guess over my 10 or so week holidays ill just have to nag her for the car every day:)
