Default Stock rims

Got bored today while waiting for some parts from LMC so I took a look at the stock rims and thought I wish those things could look better. So 4 hours later and that rim looks damn good for my first try. Here are some pics from start to finish.














To make the polished sections really pop I repainted the 4x4 logo and painted the area between the sections. Let me know what you think.
1 down 3 more to go

Looks very nice! A bit more polishing and they will be beautiful.

I used 400 grit, then 800 grit wet until smooth. The I got the buffer wheels from lowes that attach to you drill with the diffrent compounds. I used a diffrent wheel for each compound. The a few hours later thats how they turned out
