Well,
I got these today.
Only one was polished like the picture.
Soooooo
4 hours later they all look like this now.

Paint was already stripped. But they had 30+ years of stuff on them. So lots of elbow grease and lots of sandpaper.
400 grit sandpaper
600 grit
1000 grit
1500 grit
Then a electric random orbital polisher and lots of Blue Cream mag wheel polish.

Next a nice coat of wax and there you have it.

Pretty nice for track wheels, huh?

Thanks to Tony A. for my new acquisition (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
