Rim polishing is not the cheapest thing due to the labour involved. If you are not going for a show look, buy the polishing kit from bunnings and some different grades of wet and dry and get to work. A die grinder or electric drill will be your best mate for this job. I have found that rim restoration often out prices the cost of the wheels in some cases

yeh true, plus i dont wanna spend heaps on em coz they're only temporary crappy rims til I get the ones i want... after a set of SSR Longchamps lol
so yeh dont wanna spend heaps on em, might just do that. some wet and dry and autosol hahaha =)
