What tools are you using to polish them and what method.

I have started to do mine and seem to take forever

Re: Polished rims

Using Orbital air sander with 320 discs to remove paint and scuffs and the rest im doing by hand with 320 and 1200 wet n dry paper. buffing them with an air buffer aswell. ones nearly done just got the outer edge and inside of spokes because i cant get to them with air tools.

Re: Polished rims

your wheels WILL scrub on the back if its lowered. iv'e got -60mm springs on my sporting, standard shocks, and it scrubbed like hell. i had 32mm spacers. i'd recommend 20mm at the most.

however, if you still want to use 30mm spacers, you can have my 32mm for £20 only done about 50 miles with them.

Re: Polished rims

are they the hub centric one? mines lowered 50mm bit is really stiff so hopefully wont rub much.
