Alright I've finished stripping the clear on one wheel, takes awhile, going to do the other 3 wheels but trying to decide if I should just polish them or find a method on how to clear them

Looks like new, I heard polishing wheels is a real pain. I was going to do that to mine, but my brother said just pay to have them done professionally. $100 a wheel tho is a little too much for my budget. Looking forward to seeing how they look when done.

Yea $100 per wheel is a bit much, polishing does take time but it'll be worth it in the end

Where are you located? As far as I know it would be expensive if I paid a shop. Also I like to work on my own things, gives me a sense of pride
