street pilot Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Just do it yourself. You realize its pretty easy, right? (espescially if you just do the lips.) I can tell you what to do if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt-titan Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 this might be alittle strange to you but i drive a dump truck and i have big chrome wheels that are hard to take car of, there is a guy that works out of his car at the truck stop at rt 36 and 71 witch is north of 270 he does my truck wheels for 5 bucks a wheel, he said he would do car wheels for 8 bucks a wheel, he is good and he uses a buffer, not done by hand. if your interested pm me and i can give you more detail.

nismo Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Hit up TurboTank, he does great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt-titan Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 well i guess you think you know all about doing wheels, this guy and his buffer does great work he has a few diff types of buffers, diff compounds and i have seen him take a wheel that you think is gone and make it look good again, (THE HOLE WHEEL NOT THE LIP) if the wheels are a paint and not a chrome finish then yes you are right, they will need more then just a good buffing so before you go knocken a guy and his buffer you might want to know his work. and im just trying to help this guy out i don't think we need your two cents unless you can help. so thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back wheel also has small machined grooves that would need sanded out. All hoblick was saying is that a buffer and any compound wont cut it. I'm sure your dude does good work if the wheels were polished at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
