Re: How to polish mag wheels

i would definately have done it to my set. but ive decided to sell my turbo rims to buy some wheels with a better offset. if i get that bored i may polish them up for the sale but depends if can find and old strut around the place.

Re: How to polish mag wheels

the black disc thats on the rotary sander, what is it? rubber? to give the grip to spin the tyre?

all in all its an awesome idea to save time. and cheap and (seemingly) easy to do, if you have a sander and willing to remove a strut. good work

Re: adjusting toe (camber) in GC sedan

well im changing rims shortly anyway. will be ugrading to 7 or 8 " all round. then just going to sell the turbo rims. i just really like the look of cars with camber so was more as a cosmetic mod as i doubt i will be boosting around corners that hard anyway. cheers for the help

Re: i wana see pics of what size rims people are running

cheers mate, i had a quick browse of your build thread. its a little in depth for me at the moment to try and do something like that. might just try find some stiffer springs for the now and maybe look into it down the track. just hoping if i get 15x7 or 8 +8 wheels that they will be fine to run on ...

Re: How to polish mag wheels

could you not jack up the rear end of the car and have someone give it a little throttle to spin wheels and you hold sandpaper there. then switch front wheels to back after and repeat. just a thought for a cheapo alternative to get a motorized rotisary going. just gotta be caerful of fingers
