Polishing 91-92 RS wheels

Hi, I know this has probly been asked before, but I ran a search and couldn't find what I was looking for.

I've read the "Polishing your wheels" sticky, and it was very helpful. I would like to see some pics, if possible, of some 91-92 RS wheels that have been polished, to give me an idea of what mine would look like.

I'd also like o ask some questions if anyone has polished these wheels.

Thanks
Kyle

Yes they are FZ4's I like em.

Lots of hand hand work here.

Started with 320 and worked my way to 2000 wetsanding.
Overkill. Prob.. worth the results hell ya.

That Pic is prob. Old. I should take some new ones. Since I have a Good Digi cam now.


BTW the link RU_QUIK posted has some good info and a link on a page to polishing/buffing etc..


Im about to Polish a set of IROC rims and sell em.

What did you do to the center caps? They are plastic right? The caps are the only thing that stopped me from getting mine chromed.
