i've got a few months to kill until i need to get the bodywork and paint done on the car, so i got to thinking... what do 4-lug mahles look like all polished up? i've got an unshod spare, why not find out?
now i know why i haven't seen many polished mahles. here's what a stock wheel looks like with 30 years of crud, curb rash and two or three coats of paint: Attached image(s)

what's the difference between forged, cast and pressure cast? how are the creation processes different? i have noticed that the fuchs always look very smooth, even after 30 years. these wheels have gobs of casting crud, which adds many hours of labor. i have never seen the 5-lug gasburners polished, but i bet it looks incredible. thanks for the kudos guys. a couple more compliments and i may even do the rest (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) one question though: can these wheels be blasted smooth? ~a |
