POLISHING my 10 holes

[89lxsport50]

85 SS - keep up the good work. I have always liked the 10 holes. I think alot of people change to other wheels to be different. It turns out, the few of us that kept the stock wheels are the unique ones.

I'll post some progress pics later tonight..

I went and polished two of mine, but i'm planning to go over them again to get them to look nicer.

BTW, i stole the idea from 88POSLX

yea in a way i think i might have, i've always wanted to do it but this is the first place i've seen it actually done. Personally i think polished Tens look just as good as Welds.

Here are some progress pics.. going to paint the insides of the holes and the indented ring around the wheel BLACK.

edit: pics

You need to sand a lot more with a finer grit paper, what are you ending with before polishing? You should be able to make those shine two times as better.

Ya, i know.. they are all as shiny as the first pic, its just the lighting is all messed up. The previous owner had painted them BLACK and they were really nasty looking.. i might get them a little smoother, but thats pretty much good enough for me.

I think it will look a lot nicer on the car as well.

Good Job
Now get some 245/50/15's for those babies!
They handle great with my suspension mods.

You have already figured out the paint stripper thing.

I did some clearcoated Mustang TRX wheels a long time ago.

Do not sandblast them. It took forever to polish the sandblast marks out!

I did the homemade polishing wheel thing, using Brightworks products. Worked perfectly!

I used stripper on the other 3. Then polished them and they looked sweet.

A guy came along and had to have them so, I sold them.
