so just orbi them with the 300 and then do them by hand with wet and dry?

using an orbi is hard enough work when trying to get it absolutley smooth, i feel sorry for you boys without one and doing it by hand. Defenatly try to get your hands on one, its still like an hours work each wheel with an orbi, would hate to see how long it takes without one. Goodluck guys..

well fark me it takes ages. so far ive done it with 60grit to get the machined lines out, then 120 on the orbi then 240 on the orbi.it looks as though if i polished it now itd come up all rite. do i carry on with the 400 then 800 then 1200 then 2000 wet n dry?

yeah, keep going until 2000 then it will b real smooth

12 beers and one rim later its starting to look good. takes ALOT of patience

it can be done by hand! heres proof just need new tyres now.

remember if the rough cast areas in the holes is a bit average to paint in there before polishing, will save you a heap of time later. I went black in there.
