i bought 4 calais wheels recently. im gunna do this in a few weeks after ive put the new brakes diff and turbo engine back in ill post pics. will take me probably 4 weeks to get round to. heres how they are now. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i did one wheel yesterday came up a treat, just the photo isnt all that great. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looks good man, did you polish the lip where the weight sits as well? How long did it take you to that rim?

yer i did its not the best photo. it took ages and i got a blister on my finger and it burst so i could do anymore that weekend. also if never polished anything before so im a retard at, ill post a better pic, it looks foggy on that pic when it actually isnt.

Im taking your words for it and trying it on my set of vl rims... coming up sweeeet as...

Goodstuff, post up a pic when you are done Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i'm gonna be trying the same thing on sum stato rims that i picked up, their pretty damn gutter bashed, and are covered in scratches. gona grind all the gutter marks down flat with the dremel and have a go at sanding the rest etc. if they come out anywhere near as good as the calais rims people have been doing, ill be very happy. heres a pic of one of em, its dark. but u can see that they look pretty haggered. their all like this. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

this is how one of my rims turned out after having a go today, probably could'v sanded it abit more, but it looks alot better then it used too. now i just have to do the other 3 :S. not sure how im gona do the centre caps though. heres how it used to look now Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

How's the steering feel with no wheel weights :-?

Giving this a try on one of my Calais rims tomorrow. If it all work out fine, I'll do it on the 4 (plus spare) Calais rims I have on my car. Nice shiney spare Calais rim in the boot will look a treat once I get the rest of the boot install done Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
