Polished Rims

BigDaddy · May 10th, 2005, 06:37 PM

My new '05 RA SRT-10 has the "polished" rims on it. Well I gave her it's first bath today and while cleaning the rims, I noticed that the polish job leaves a lot to be desired. The "face" of the rims are good for the most part, but the inner sides have a lot of dull patches. They look good at first glance, but when you check them out you can see them.

Have others noticed this? I have an appointment with the dealer to have my bed liner and toune cover installed so I was going to ask for a new set of rims, but if they are all like that, I won;t expend the energy.

Any thoughts?

I agree! There are alot of A##HOLES. I never had looked at my rims until today and I do notica a little bit of dullness. Good lookin out!

I'll let you know what kind of feedback I get from my dealer. I just know that if I took a set of rims to a polisher and paid them $600 I would expect better than what I have. When I send out a prop for my boats, they come back completly polished like a mirror.

I had mine repolished here in LA for 55 a wheel and then had them clear powder coated for 200 for all 4 wheels. The wheels have no maintenance. You just wash them and they are good as new.

So you too saw that they were not polished very well? The clear coating, now theres an idea. My brother runs a powder coating company here in Chicago. Anything speacial they need to do for the clear coat?
