oh really... hmm. so just a bunch of sand paper and polish and time involved?

i am also thinking about painting my steelies. i can't afford rims until after the wedding, so i might have fun with my steelies for now.

correctomundo. sand blasting will do buttloads of damage to your wheel and would take waaaaay longer to polish with that. glass bead is what you want. Yes, there is a difference between sand and glass
