Question Wheel cleaning


What would be the best way to clean these wheels? Polish even? Any ways to heal curb rash?
Thanks

Re: Wheel cleaning

ok...prob wont be able to sand them then

there was a guy who sanded and actually put bondo on the rim and painted the entire rim i believe. Im not sure how long that was going to last but he said he would just redo it if it every got messed up...i tried to find the thread but i couldnt you might have better luck

also repost this or ask a mod to move it to the wheels and tires and u might have better luck
