Don’t worry! I know what your thinking! It doesn’t match! Well I already spoke to the detail guy at our dealership and he said he has plenty of dye to match it to the pewter interior

And here’s the end result! The top is still bright but the detail guy that matched it said it will blend in after some oils get on it.

I stumbled across a deal on some rims…free! The tires are shot on them so I removed them and started polishing the wheels……here a before

[Eggs2bacon]

I started polishing the wheels since they had been sitting outside for a while.  Below is a picture of the wheels before polish, the right is after polish.

What did you use to polish them?  Are you going to clear coat at all?  Looks good!

I used mother’s red ball. It worked pretty good, oh and mothers wheel polish. I’m gonna spend some more time on them and then clearcoat them.

Here’s a pic of them installed

I also had these lug nuts I’ve saved from work.

Looks great!  I would paint the inside of the circles since they are not polished like the rest of the wheel.  It would look better.

Another weekend touch up. The steering wheel started to flake off on top. The leather I guess was just too brittle. So I pulled it off and got it ready to wrap. Here’s a before pic….
