I remember reading a thread or something where someone redid their wheels. Anyone know of it? I'm sayin' this dude took off all the curb rashes and made his rims look brand new.

if you have curb rashes you can just sand it down. since you want to get that blue lip off your rims, you can just sand it

since you want to remove the curb rashes i think you should think about repainting your rims right now. invest in some sandpaper, paint stripper, couple cans of primer, base paint, and clear coat, and lost of patience and time.

if you just want to remove the cur rashes take some 220 grit and work you way up to wetsanding with 2000 grit sandpaper and sand the lip. and after a while it should become polished at that point you can primer and paint the lip if you want

So far I'm tossed up with the Greddy Evo2 or the Skunk2 Mega Power. Any suggestions?
