Not to thread jack, but any tips on restoring stock alloys? My stockies are in rough shape due to prior owner being a curb lover. You can see them in my MRT. Others may be interested in this info if they are getting some stock alloys as well.1993 SE Coupe MRT - 1992 LX Sedan MRT

I picked up some SE wheels for $50. They are a little scuffed and I was going to paint them. So I went pretty heavy with the wire wheel. But after using a scotch brite stripper pad and 400 grit wetsand. My plan for paint has changed. I like the brushed alum. look and so far these actually turned out pretty well. I need to get some coarser wetsand paper and go over it again.
Let me see If I can post some pics.
The top left one is the wheel we will be looking at later
This is the pic after I removed the clear with a wire wheel on the drill. Scuffed with the scotch brite stripping pad and then wetsanded some with 400 grit.
Not too damn bad for $50 and some of my time. I think anyway.

This shows a pic of the wheel and the curbage with the drill and wire wheel I am referring to.
You can see some of the curbage in the pic.
Then next pic is after I removed the clear coat on the wheel. I was going to use stripper but I like the color on the holes on the wheel and didn't want to strip it off so I used the wheel to remove the clear which makes for more sanding later.
I plan to be done this weekend will post the finished pics then.
I am not sure If I want to clear coat these or just polish them from time to time. Any input would be appreciated.
thanks

Yes I painted them, Rustoleum Bright Metallic silver. No clear.
I have a set of 15x6 240 steelies that I'm tryin 2 polish with wire wheel.. but its super hard. The coating is powdered coated. May have 2 ask my friend to glass bead them.. its a lot of work 2 polish them. I just may repaint them blk. Idk I kinda gave up on the wheels.**Blk Housed Slut Crew Member #1**

Regardless, I REALLY want those wheels!
