Default Stripped and polished my wheels

I got off work early on tuesday for the 4th and started the stripping process of my driver side around 12. I finished the driver side up around 430 and did my passenger side the morning of the 4th. All in all it took about 8-9 hrs to get them to look as shiney as possible (they still can be more shiney but its been raining and I am waiting to put more elbow grease in to it)
It was a rigorous process but the end result was worth it!

As you can tell my wheels looked pretty rough in some spots. The tire shop messed up my clear and they payed to have them re cleared and did a horrible job

Those look very nice. Are you going to clear them to keep them from corrosion?
