Well, seems I have two different sets of rims. Completely different offsets. Oh well, I'll clean them up and see how they will look. Hey, ya never know, might find someone who has one or two rims the same as what I need  |

You could cut out your rear wheel arches and make them fit , that's always cool and just run the rims patina style!  |

Washed one up with some custom wheel cleaner, spray on, scrub in, let sit, then rinse .. ---- cleaned a bit, but would of liked more acidy burn of wheel crap ---  Next step, 320 grit wet sand.  All done first sanding. Think I may go over it another time with 320 grit  All total, less than one hour of work ....  |

So, I started @ 9:15, and it's now 10:45. Three grades of wet sanding, 320, 400, 600. I still have 800, 1000, and 2000 grit to go. I'm happy with it so far.  |
