how long would it take it polish the entire lip? I'm thinking of doing this instead of taking it to a shop. But if it takes forever.. i might just take it to a shop lol. Coz ppl say its easy, but it takes like 5 hours per lip

Hey, I'm new to the car scene. I'm trying to buy vsxx and one of the wheels has curb rash.
Question is do all vsxx have aluminium polished lips or are they chrome?
Thanks

I have done the same process on many rims, Jus gotta take ur time with low speeds, otherwise you'll grind off to much and be left with a eye soar;(

will the process be the same on the flat side of the lip? i have polished lips on my piaa super rozza and the idiot tire guy using the old and ancient machine with the "fingers" to hold the rim in place left several light dimples on the flat side of the lip, (not the bead part). is the process the same?

thanks for an excellent write up
