Sandblasted My Rims: Before and After
Simply amazing how well these turned out.
Took over 3 hours per rim, but well worth it in my opinion. I love the dull aluminum look. Chrome is not my thing.

Looks great! I feel your pain though. I'm in the process of polishing my IROC rims, and I'm averaging about 6 hours per rim, but they look awesome so it's well worth it.

No, didn't clear coat them. I'm going to do my best to keep them clean. I didn't want to deal with the clear coat fogging up and making em look like crap again.
