Polished 10 holes FTW---pics

Flavadave4 · Jan 11, 2011

So after viewing a few pics of people's polished 10 hole Ford wheels I decided to embark on the journey of stripping, sanding, sanding, sanding and polishing the wheels on the 87 convertible I am working on.

Time consuming, but the results speak for themself. i still have some work to do on those stainless center caps but I'm getting close.

I am going to paint the sunken in areas with a gunmetal or silver caliper paint.

Personally, I think 10 holes are the worst looking factory mustang wheel. I do commend your effort and success on polishing them up nice though!

Hot dang them are shiny!!! Good work

thats money.

That's really quite nice, the cruddy ones you see on every old mustang are absolutely horrible.

I disagree, the Turbine and TRX wheels are both terrible looking to me. The 10 holes have a decent look to them, and the polished sets are looking pretty nice on this 'vert. I should also mention that I am a self-employed car dealer so cheap things that add value are my bread and butter.

Besides, I have always taken a likening to cars they are not exactly stock but look like something that could have been factory...that has been my thinking with my black 89 GT.

as hideous as the TRX wheels are they bring some serious coin.

I have noticed that...different strokes for different folks!

I like em.

If i had to run an OEM 4-lug wheel again..10-holes it would be. Wish i kept mine. They were clean!

I think all of the factory fox wheels look like ass, including the pony's, but thats just me

I know its funny the things that bring in cash, I've had more people call about stock intake setups i've had for sale than go fast parts

But looks good man

Flavadave4 · Jan 11, 2011

Thanks fellas!

I had the tires un mounted for the polishing process and then mounted and balanced from the inside so there are no wheel weights showing

Lookin' good!

Looks hot. I'm really starting to love the all stock looking Fox builds. It's about that time for some restoration looking nostalgia builds.

El_CUCUY · Jan 11, 2011

they look good. To bad i'm changing over to 5lug.

FourEyed · Jan 11, 2011

Ten Holes rule! never mind the haters haha.

Looks great. What was your process?

capri debris · Jan 12, 2011

They look great!! Lot's of work, but I think it was worth it, cuz they turned out sweet.

I don't understand the lack of love for the TRXs.... if someone made an affordable tire for them, I'd polish up a set and have them on my '82 Capri.

As for the polished ten holes... I'm gonna be doing a set this summer for the above mentioned '82.
