the original 15" alloy wheels
- Thread starter jpdrake
- Start date
Nobody has addressed the fact that the stock wheels have a factory clear coat on them that would need to be completely removed BEFORE trying to polish the wheel. The clear coat starts to turn a yellowish color when it gets old and starts to fade and you cannot polish the clear coat it will only smear and look worse than before.

yeah thats what happened to mine is the clear coat is almost id call flaking off but its not it just looks like white veins. so how should i remove the clear coat to get to the metal? i found a company in cali ssaid theyd do em for $40 a rim $160 sounds good to get like the ones in the pic but how much is it gonna cost to ship 4 alum rims from mass to cali. so what would you do? strip the clear <how> polish them <which way>

i wonder how i could figeur shipping for 4 rims?
Figure out what size box is needed then go to UPS.com and check.
As far as box's, if you have a local wheel shop ask them if they have 4 box's you could have.
