Well i bought some blades off this guy in dallas, and they looked a bit beat up. they had a little bit of curb rash and everything, and were looking a bit tired. so i decided id grab my sander, and get to work! it was a really tedious process, taking about 3 hours per wheel, but in the end i think it was worth it. i only have pics of working right now, and ill get some more pics up once i get them put on the integra. let me know what yall think!

after dry sanding:
and on to wet sanding (800-1500 grit)
after wet sanding:
polishing with a 4,000 rpm buffing motor:
and the finished product!:
they look great, and all the imperfections are gone-they look brand new! if your wheels are pretty beat up, i highly
