Polishing Rims... What next?	Thu, 23 September 2004 08:15

Hey All, I just finished polishing my 14x7 MA61 Rims a looong time ago. Now since I have free time what do I do next? They don't look shiny enough and nooo people, no chrome dipping here... I sanded off the machining lines off the face as well. Here are some of the pics... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v466/CelicaSupra /DSC00214.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v466/CelicaSupra /DSC00215.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v466/CelicaSupra /DSC00216.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v466/CelicaSupra /DSC00217.jpg Cheers.

Yeah... and what good is that if I don't have any wheels on the MA61 and I can't be bothered nor have the time or money to do a 5 stud conversion? Laughing

Drive around on them until you can afford some 4-stud Simmons in the right offset? [Report message to a moderator]

the black paint in the grooves is factory standard.
i agree, must paint grooves, it just makes the rims that much nicer imo.
