Due to a pothole attack, my front pair 18" Kazeras had their lips bent...
Not a huge fan of Chrome, but these worked out. Not sure what these are, 18" 7 11's? I'll have to check again. Anyway, enjoy!!

I rather like the large exhaust, but it would look a lot better if they were polished!
They look like they stick out pretty far though... I guess that is good, so he won't get any carbon build up on the bumper cover...
The rims do look a little classy for the exhaust though...

It is a Greddy Exhaust, what can I use to polish?
Thanks again.

And, metal polish works great. I had a lot of build up when I first got my CL. I used some wet fine grit sandpaper to get it clean and then metal polish.

Mother's also makes a mag & aluminium polish that works perfectly.
I used it many, many years ago on a set of old alum. 5-star wheels that I got for free. They were caked with brake dust, mold, and dirt that had been there for many years (a good hand washing didn't even touch them). I had a feeling I wouldn't be able to use them on my CRX because they were too trashed but I was wrong. That polished made the finish look brand spanking new. I couldn't believe my eyes when I wiped that stuff off! Mother's FTW!

Ok, with all that being said about polishes...
FIRST: Clean them.
SECOND: Go out and buy "Double O (00) Fine Steel Wool". <- That is what you use to clean chrome and it is so fine that it doesn't leave scratch marks (learned that in auto body school).
THIRD: Use one of the many popular name brands for polishing chrome/stainless steel.
THat should work out great!

I would probably never get chrome wheels. I never had a problem with the chrome handles and trim, but wheels and shiney tail pipes were just too much.
