Was there a certain way you sanded to get a better result? Did you sand against the machining grain or with it? Circular motion while sanding or just a back and forth motion? BTW it looks good what you did with some of those rims, it's like night and day. Nice job!

I was talking about on the polishing. Dude, did you read this whole topic? I remember that it was said not to try and sand the unfinished casted parts in between the spokes of the wheel because you'd be sanding forever. I do understand the scuffing to have the paint adhere better but what I was referring to was on the polishing sections and to what method/technique was used for the better results. I was hoping for Teal DX to respond.

it doesn't matter, just be sure to sand long enough so that you sand through all the deeper scratches from the previous grit paper. I usually sanded with the contour of the rim, seemed easiest.

great job on the rims but polish always looks too close to chrome
either way, good stuff

Yo, teal dx, thanks for the idea. Instead of dropping a load on another set of rims, I've been doing this to my tuner mesh icws. I've finished two so far. I spent 5 hours apiece on them. I'm very pleased.

i was looking at refinishing/polishing the lips of my 5zigen FN01R-C rims...they were refinished before i bought them and the clear coat is coming off the lips...so i am planning to redo the lips only and not the rest of the rim as i like the colour...should i tape off the rim before i sand down the lip? and i take it that when you start wet sanding at 1200 grit that you also wet sand the painted section of the rim? in the process that I am doing should i then take the tape off the rim and start wetsanding the lip along with the very end of the spokes to take away and bumps and uneveness from paint to lip?

Just stumbled upon this old tutorial... I still have the HX wheels:
Car is going to be for sale soon and I won't have a 4x100 honda anymore... it's going to be hard to part with these wheels (and all the others I've collected for this car)

Thanks for this information. I'll check this method if it'll work on my truck rims as well.
