A quick look in DIYs, Exterior, DIY index, at the bottom under "Wheels": http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=182063

I have had some professionally refinsihed. Media blasted to remove paint, clear coat, and corrosion; power coat wheel silver; remachine face to look like OEM; clear powder coat on face. Mine still look new after three years and 30,000+ miles of driving in southern Ohio.

I am going to try this on my set of 92/93 allows. That is a purrrrrty spare you have there

That is the DIY I am going to follow. I know mine have some gouges in them but I am not going to have a race/show car. I want to do the work myself and feel satisfied knowing that I did it. Even if it is crappy. Plus I really do not have 150+ to send out each wheel. I am trying to buy a house and that is not in my budget lol when I have 4 steelies.

I have a set of 17" eurolines on the wagz but I don't really like them, I'd like to go low on OEM wheels for a bit until I find nicer wheels, the eurolines are a bit crap honestly haha.

Look up Type G. He had the best looking OE bottle caps ever.

Oh my god.

THATS attention to detail.

I should really start reading the builds around here.

He also has some great DIYS on polishing. He is Mr. Bling around here. I learned a lot from his teachings.
