I'm doing this right now, I only have one rim polished so far because i'm doing it by hand. Let me tell you it looks bad ass!! The only down side to doing this is the maintanence. Oh, and God forbid a dog pisses on the rims cause you'll have to sand it down and polish it again :eek:

Is it easy, HELL NO!! I did it all by hand, i started off putting some paint remover to remove the clear coating. Then I used 100 grit (water sand paper, it's black), 220, 480, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 2000. Trust me, it's in no way easy but it looks awesome when done. One rim took me about 7 days to do, because I would only work on it maybe an hour or 2 a day. Sorry, I have no pics.
