I hit em with heaps of 120 GRIT wet and dry, making sure that the final passes were in the same direction and did a once-over with 400 grit. I didn't want a 'chrome' finish as i think the Montegos look better with a rougher brushed look.
the tyres here are shagged 195/60r15s which are a tad big for the GE. Will try 195/55r15s and 185/60r15 and see which i prefer.
Definitely needs lowering now. Still considering to lower the front only or to lower all round and keep the typical 70s era nose-up stance.
Hey ddt
have you got any close up pics of the wheels I have some montegos but with red accents which I want to remove. I just sussing out there I should leave the recessed buts natural metal or paint them black, grey, charcoal etc.
Thanks Dave I've had a look at that and its pretty much a step by step for polishing the wheels, thanks to the contributes
however what I'm specifically trying to suss out is the rims that aren't painted red in the recess or they left natural metal or painted (if so what colour)

Hey Brendon
Check out an old closeup I found of one of my rims below. The accents are dark grey. Not sure if they were originally that way.. I have a feeling the turbo rims originally had gloss black accents not dark grey.
