Last week I picked up a set of Volk Evolution 3's (17x8 17x9 +44 ) for a pretty good price. Given the age of the wheels, (circa 1995) they definitely needed a little TLC. I took some before and after pics to show how well they cleaned up, and I must say, i'm pretty impressed with the results for the amount of time it took.

The product I used was Mother's Billet Wheel Polish. It took about 5-10 minutes per wheel mostly by hand, but I also used an orbital buffer to speed things up.

Sorry for the low quality pics. I used a mixture of an 8mp cell phone and a 6mp PowerShot that blurred about 90% of the pictures, but some came out okay. Tell me what you guys think.

nice job

 

Those look hot!

 

 

Curious, did you rattle can your lip or is it unpainted? It's hard to tell.

 

Good results on the lips

 

would look betterwith the center caps.

 

Find those centercaps! can appreciate what you did with the rims, takes a lot of elbow grease to make the rims come back in fighting form

 

Love it, great job on the polish. And the interior color combo is just amazing, great job on that. Full red, with red seats is a bit too much. But you really pull it off

 

It's unpainted. I got it from baysonr a few weeks ago and have been trying to get the fitment corrected before I paint it.
