5.0 10 hole rims
I have seen the stock 10 hole rims with the center cap polished to a high gloss shine. I have my ideas on how to do this, but was wondering if anyone here had done it, and if so, how.
Maybe a subject for the 'Technical Reference' area ?

Is it aluminum?
If so, sand with 240, 320, 500, 1000, and then 1500. Then buff with jewlers rouge. Thats how I did my wheels.  http://files.automotiveforums.com/ga...cat=500&page=2

These pics will give you a better idea of the mirror finish.
You wet sand with those grits, then use a buffing wheel with the rouge.

Yeah Skyline, they are cast aluminum and the center caps are kind of a..dull finish... a real 'flat' finish.
Thanks. I really need to clean up the wheels themselves in addition to what I want to do with the caps.

Just remember, you get what you put into it. It takes time do it right.
Now get off the net, and get to work

GTStang,
Thanks. It took almost 3 weeks of sanding and buffing. I am still not done, but it can wait.
