99-01 Oem Wheels

Has anyone ever done a High Polish finish to the 99-01 oem wheels? Ive seen them painted in a number of different colors and have seen them restored to off the lot condition but never high polish. Any One?

Hey Es617, getting a mirrored highly polished and detailed "OEM" is going to cost some bucks.

Unless you really like the original rims, consider taking the money and putting it towards something else that'll give your TL a more personalized look.

3.2TLc Money isn't a issue in polishing the wheels. Materials and thats about it. Ive polished a lot of wheels for customers and did my 04 zx6r frame last summer you just have to know what your doing. I was trying to polish the OEM wheels for the winter since i don't want the wheels i have on the car now to get ugly during our New England Winter
